I had a reinforced nimbus seatpost and I snapped it basically the same
way you did. I guess aluminium can't cope with all the stress from
pulling up on the seat all the time.

Well today I got 270 unispins to the tyre! w00t. Was all about
commiting. I owned myself a few times (let go of the seat), ouch. But I
got it about 2 minutes after I started commiting.

O and I got kick up mounts too. Pretty easy, but kool :)

I'm bragging for the second time today :D

Well today was a great day. Here's a list of all the stuff I did for
the first time.
- 270 unispins to tyre
- 180 unispins to seat in (first trick I've ever actually committed to
landing seat in :p)
- 360 unispins to seat in, before I was tryna land them seat in but
catch the middle of the seat with my hands so I ended up sitting on my
hands. Now I just catch the handle.
- 50cm high rolling hop (w00t only 5cm less than my sidehop record :D)
- kick up mount
- 360 hop twist, well more of a 320 hoptwist but the most I could get
before today was 270.

I'm not scared of racking myself when landing tricks seat in now.
That'll make crankflips much easier to learn.

Yup I got 3spins first. I never even tried a 270 till I could 3. Being
able to 360 made 270's real easy. Just had to commit.
