WHY DO BMX riders have their saddle pointing so far upwards???

Answer 1

the low tilted up seat serves a few purposes and their not to get off on..... alot of riders do it like one person pointed out so we can grip the seat with our legs better for manuals or barspins. It also gives us a better and easier place to grab on seat tricks and having it low allows us to "suck" the bike up as much as possible when trying to clear something... hope this helps discard any rumor that we like it in the bum

Answer 2

It is mainly a jumper thing because they can grab the nose of the seat with their legs better for tricks. Plus when you ride on a bike that has a lower seat it makes it a little more comfortable on the butt. However if you ever look at bmx racers the seats tend to stay pretty well level with the top tube, but our seats are usually unpadded and very light so they arnt worth sitting on anyways.

Answer 3

The seat is placed low using fact it does not get interior the way and approximately 5 % of the time is spent sitting the different ninety 5 % is spent status and doing different tricks. Having the seat greater might reason the rider to have issues using challenge of leg area over the motorbike

Answer 4

Umm... they need to hang on to it. It must have been the BMX riders that coined the phrase "cheeks don't fail me now".
