Pointing seat at the stem was like an old rule of thumb for XC. I used to do this on my old long seatpost XC bike and it really wasn't a bad call. I'm guilty of tilting my seat like this on my AM bike, but not as extreme.

A lot of people tilt there seat the other way (nose up), this is the one that makes me scratch my head lol.

bruhhhhhh, what is going on with ur seat angle, u climb up everist or something? lol

It’s only 75 degrees?

he means the downwards tilt of the seat. looks weird, but helps a lot with climbing

yes, this is true, just try ...
and you don't slide forward as you might believe, it's actually very comfortable and no pressure in sensitive areas.
and this helps a lot in the long and steep climbs we have here on the Alps

What about riding everywhere else though? That can’t be comfy on flat terrain, especially if it’s a bit rough/rutted?

If the owner of the bike finds it comfortable, who's anyone else to tell him it isn't?

My seat is similar, maybe not as extreme and I find it comfortable.

Yes, we have literally all seen it and come to terms with the fact it's not what we'd run. Can you?

Merely could have been something like, curious, whats the reason behind your seat angle?

We’re merely tossing you a lil’ crap for tossin him a lil crap. No big.
