    You're only see the successful attempts at those jumps ;)

    haha! I do that everyday to get to work ... and who needs a saddle anyway.:pac:

    In fairness you can sort of see how a saddle might get in the way.

    What kind of bike would you need to do stuff like this? It has always fascinated me and it's something Id like to practice.
    I have a Scoot Voltage YZ2 that needs an overhaul.

    Would that frame be worth using? Also got a Marzocchi Bomber MX Comp Air fork on it.
    Opinions please.

    They're using a bike like this

    TBH that scott would be too heavy to throw around on any riding like the video. You should be able to manage bunnyhops, endovers, wheelie turns etc. Just google for tutorials.

    Thought it might be a bit heavy alright.
