Some kids told me my seat is too high, are they right?

Steve_W:
I'm nearly 6'2" and 15 1/2 stone, riding a Standard STA 500.  Yesterday at Tipton, some decent riders took pity on my wobbling antics and gave me some advice, they said grandad, lower your seat and lose the pegs, so I have now lowered it to leave about 2" of seat pin showing.  So now if I sit down when riding I look like a right Deacon, and my knees and chin become close mates!  Any opinions?  I ride mainly small ramps (no vert) and flatland. (and to be fair I don't nip to the shops on it, so it's not really like I need to sit down!)

Cheers!

too be honest i cut mine right down  :daumenhoch: and slam it down so its out the way ,but thats for sk8parks etc for the track on a racing bmx i run it higher  :daumenhoch: im 5ft9 but i dont sit on the seat much  :daumenhoch:

kdw712:
much as zed says

racin i run a higher seat and for goofing around tends to be lower as when riding and trying to jump don't want the seat too high

Bigplinky:
Get one of those hope quick release seat clamps so you can adjust it for what you are doing at the time, that's what I'm gonna do on my cruiser soon.
