  1. first of all, it depends on if you jump seat in or seat out. for seat
    out, most riders will agree that a relatively high seat will be better
    for hopping high. for seat in, most riders will agree that a relatively
    low seat will be better for hopping high.

    you really should just experiment and see the pros and cons of riding
    with different height seats.

  3. typically freestyle is the highest followed by trials, and
    street/freestyle.
    personally i ride a high seat and i do everything on it. my muni i
    ride lower (in comparison) but not low.

    typically you can jump higher with a high seat SIF, and a low seat SI.
    i jump higher with a high seat period. might be because that is the
    only way i have riden for the last 6 months+

  5. Totally and completely depends on what you like best...in general, most
    street riders have theirs rather low, but look at Dan Doerksen, he was
    really good at street but had a super high seat (rhyme).
    Freestyle riders generally have a higher seat...and distance riders
    too. One could actually argue that higher seats are indeed better for
    distance riding, but that's about the only type of riding when there's
    an absolute best. The rest is just personal preference...so in
    conclusion, figure it out for yourself!
