So if your feet slip off the pedals you land on a seat and not a tube or get a tire up your butt. And if your cruising down the street you can just sit and put your feet down a little for longer distances instead of standing the whole time. Also a lot of people probably use that seat and pinch it with their legs for no handed tricks, to grab back a tail whip with their foot, etc.

You can sit on it while you wait (mine anyway, dunno about that retard seat angle) and it is in the area where you come down in a crash, beats landing on steel tube. My seats broken right now from this.

That's all I can think of.

 

[Tetreault]

to sit on........





tradition, even though you say your superco's seat is virtually useless, would you actually want to buy a bike that didn't have the ability to run one?

 

[demo 9]

Just seems like there is no way you can pinch that, unless u use your shinz, and i would think that if u did slip, you wouldnt hit anything anyway, i can see the sitting and waiting part though.

extremely valid point I just see the "trendy BMX'rs" taking off more and more, could never figure out why they didnt loose the X grams their seat weighs.

 

[eaterofdog]

Well something like the stolen thermalite setup is a only 200 grams. You gotta figure that's worth not having a core sample taken out of your ass.

 

[insanitylevel9]

to save your ars when you have to really compress, just look at the seat on my hard tail, i think i would have been butt raped if i didn't have a seat.

also demo how may bikes to you have man?

you can never have enough bikes

[sealclubber]

really mine is just there to coast on, or to sit on when waiting to hit a set

 

[LOOnatic]

Super man seat grabs........thats why

Go try a trials bike without one. You never know how much you rest on it until it isn't there.

Ummm... I just want to say that bike up top is hot. I want it.

The first time your nuts get pulled in between the tire and brake booster, you will never forget again. Nothing like trying to pull your cajones back through a 3/8" crack.

 

[JGill]

Cru, I was thinking the same thing...that bike is sick!

 

[cmc]

because they were originally designed for little kids who did sit on them even with the seat slammed down all the way!

Now THAT seat height is actually usable by an adult and doesn't seem to get in his way either does it?!

Seats are dumb, I'm ordering one of these.

 

[demo 9]

I am amazed to see that actually exists, i know some of you may think its a stupid question, but in my mind (as adults riding bmx bikes, not kids under 12) the seat is not very useful(yes there are a few), where as brakes IMO are very useful, people will rip their brakes off in 2 seconds jump a stair set and get hit by a car without thinking twice, but the seat always stayed, i have even noticed a new "trend" of chainless for park. I am not trying to get into the brakes/none argument, but my feelings were that stopping, is more important than sitting. (and forget safety)

How can manufacturers sell bikes without brakes?

 

[cmc]

. . . i have even noticed a new "trend" of chainless for park. . . .

i saw Taj ride an amazing mini ramp spine session in '99 with no sprocket or chain. he was doing bottom bracket slides across the spine coping. and every variation of it you could think of, alley-oop to bb slide, fakie to half-cab to bb slide, it was sick. he was probably just messing around, like broke his chain or sprocket earlier that day.

mag cover from that year:

(also note that he and ruben alcantara were some of the earliest adopters of small sprocket gearing, at that time usually 36-13 or 34-12). it may even be true that they started that trend (although dudes had already been running small sprockets in flatland because it was easy to get small cogs for freecoasters).

 

[hydro422]

That is actually just a joke item, FBM made an ad with that a few years ago making fun of people for having the super slammed seat. Its not really for sale.

They can't, well completes anyway. Thats why before removable brake mounts if you bought a bike that was "brakeless" it would come with sidepull like the Odyssey 1999.

imagine what kind of board room meetings were going on when all the freestyle bike manufacturers came out with scooters for 1987.

http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=230960

some dudes were good on them too.... airs 6-8 feet out on vert, 540's etc.... but still, it's a scooter. fad died real quick.

there was some german company in the 90's making heavy duty scooters--they had ads in Ride. apparently dudes riding trails and going big.... heh. anyone remember that? it might have been Dragonfly. or maybe not.

For as many bikes as you own Demo 9, you sure ask some dumb freaking questions and say some dumb freaking things about bikes.

you sure about that 34-12, because afaik they never had a 12t freewheel only 13t(ran one 36-13) and for a long time 14t was the smallest you could get.

this whole no seat thing smells like another demo 9 trolling.
