Got sick of being yanked backwards up hills when my seat gets muddy... bought a one ind seat cover for $10 off TM. Grippy as fuck on the top but the sides were this plastic kind of shit... looks cheap and offers no knee grip though stutters. Plus the seat was now too grippy and just pulled my pants down.

So i made my own step seat. Put the bump where i wanted it, made it higher than normal... worked out great. Used the foam from a rooted old xr seat. and some softer foam i put over the top I had lying around. Cant wait to try some muddy climbs. Daff?

So if anyones got the same prob... try this. Saves $220 on a stg seat that they dont even make for smokers. If anyones interested ill post up how i did it...

Will be plenty of them over winter, thinking more waterfall up hills these days though.
