well, I was playing around with my bike the other day and playing with the seat height, and realized that I actually pinch the seat the easiest when it is completely slammed. Anyone else this way, or am I just short?
I also cut my post a little bit, but will probably cut it more when I am sure I like my seat completely slammed.

So what is the verdict there?

Seat heights are pretty much the same, except one is slammed and one isn't.

So, I guess I'm not the only one.

If you noticed, the seat tube on my purple bike is quite large, so my seat really isn't slammed.

Yes, I did notice that, and I guessed that was where you were going with it. I want your Macneil though.

How can one do a barspin without pinching?

It's not hard, you just throw the bars.

Plenty of pros and other riders manage to do it. I'm not sure how either though.

It feels like you are pinching the cranks... so you just pretty much pinch with the lower part of your legs rather than with your knees.

360 bar humps are really cool.
slamed seat all the way, have rly tryed doin bar spins tho, i will have a go
I like my seat low as well makes it easier for me to huck the bike around if I am just riding trails I will raise it because I am not jumping or futsin around
i never worried to much about my seat height. i like to keep it out just a little bit though so when my bike is upside down and im working on it it's a little easier
