I like it High because:
I don't do Whips
I like to feel part of the Bike, not like the Bike is underneath me, like I'm in the Bike
It's better for T-Bogs and the like
Most importantly, I like to sit down. I like to sit down when I'm not doing anything. I like to sit down when I'm riding back from somewhere and I'm tired out. I like to do sit down Fakies and Feebles.
I run about 4-5" of Post with a 9" Standover, just enough so I can pedal sat down.

High slim seat. But it's the Tree seat so it's more comfortable than most fat seats. Feels better, I can sit down easier, I can sit down and fakie, I can sit down and pedal, and it also looks amazing. Slammed seats look literally retarded.
Over a fist of post with an 8.25" standover.

1 inch fat seat fill everyone in their sleep. I like it low enough that the seat doesnt hit the ground if i fall

Like 4 fingers of post, I sit on my seat alot when im cruising so slammed isn't really an option unless i want my knees to be at my shoulders. Also my frame has a 8.25 stand over so the raised seat gives me a little more control in spins almost like a higher standover would. And slammed seats look like shit IMO

Normally I run my 330 post down as far as I goes which normally gives me a fist and a half. But since I'm running a teirra and they have a stupid tapered seat post I'm running a normal post abit over the min insertion line think its about a fist
Also fat seats ftw. Slims suck

I used to have a slammed seat for looks. I raised it after getting a fat seat and haven't bothered to change it. I mainly solo sesh so sometimes I sit and chill for a bit.

My seat still scrapes the ground a bit when I drop my bike. If I run 4 pegs, it barely doesn't scrape the ground, but I went back to 2 pegs.

i have a fat seat with my post around almost an inch or so. i dont like the way it looks when its high. ill probably start making it higher so my bag never hits my tire.

As low as I can with still being able to pedal while sitting down. Cruising the streets all day sucks for me when I have to stand up the whole time.
