Your body for the most part is going to be moving around and the seat can get in the way limiting your ability to adjust or tuck. It has nothing to do with looks as far as people who are trying to ride bmx and not just pose. I'm older, can't drive and have to ride far as hell to any local spot but my seat is still pretty low. I bring a set of allen wrenches with me, and some water. So I can slam it when I get where I'm going. Protect your sack! If you come up short you can use your legs to absorb the impact. But a high seat will hit you and send you over the bars. Thats always fun 04wildman wrote: LOL. The area where a high seat would be is an important area for a lot of tricks.
