High enough to pedal. barely. I dont know what else a low seat helps with besides landing whips. I'd run mine a tad higher but it doesnt look right

Same here. I really want a Lichtenberger Odyssey Principal seat. It's fat but not that much that it rises so high.

Not trying to be a dick, but that's because you haven't learned to hop properly yet. With time you'll learn how to tuck up (Different people do it different ways) and you'll be able to hop with any seat height.

Edited Date/Time:
I have about a fist of post showing but my frame also has a 7.75" standover.
I heard that you need a step stool to get on bloghogs bike because of how much post he has though

Just wondering, does standover include bb?

Enough that you can see the fbm logo on my post, but I have stubby legs so 8.25 in standover feels like 9 to everyone else

Stand over is measured from the center of the bb to the center of the tt

Just so you guys know also. BB height is measured from the center of the BB to the floor. But unfortunately it can range massively this way because of different tyres! I am a HUGE advocate for the center line measurement. You have your drop outs then measure how far up the center of the BB is soooo. You have 10" which is the center of any BMX wheel then + 1.8" for an 11.8" BB Height, Much more accurate way of doing things! Just so you know, you know lol

Yeah that's the way to measure bb height, but the stand over wouldn't change if you measured the bb height differently though?
