Static SIF gaps

Atkin-son- (me) can't gap far at all. especially seat out.
I think that the reason I can't gap seat out well is because I do it to
my left, with my left pedal back, and holding the seat with my right
hand. I believe that it works much better to hold the seat with the
same hand as the pedal thats back...so I'm learning to hop with my
right foot back instead of my left. its hard though.

to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

Hey, me too! I jump to the side that my back foot is on, but I don't
think it deprives much distance. It just makes pedal and crank grabs
akward.

I can't jump sif very well yet, but my static hop with seat in is about
4 feet (~1.2 m)

OK, new rules, if you can do more than 2m you HAVE to identify yourself.
It seems sooooo impossible

For me, I think that's definitely true for hopping up onto things, like,
if I try to do a static SIF high hop and look at myself in a
reflection at the same time I get like no air but then when I hop onto
a ledge I get way higher.

I think I find large gaps easier just on the flat though. I have
"commitment issues" with gaps between things.

I can't imagine how any human could static gap more than 2.4m and I'm
99% sure it's never been done

i drive with my left foot back whileholding the seat with my right hand
but i don't find it very bad for gaping (i can gap around 1,4m)
the problem i get is when i have to do a pedal grab it is very heavy to
lean far enough becouse my right arm is holding the seat and right
pedal is grabing
