Its not a big problem but with my mob i put my seat where it is able to be pinched it is almost over the handel bars and it looks like a XC er... its not a big problem but the seat tube is a little bit low

Very few people pinch seats for tricks any more.

Not necessary. Look at BMX. Everyone slams their seat now. It's better style.

So they are sweet for park ans street, but if I wanted to DJ 90% of the time, a blkmrkt wouldnt be the one for me? Not the best DJ only bike?

It was originally designed to be a dirt frame that was capable of taking air abuse at parks. The geometry however has proven to be efficient for technical tricks on streets or in the parks as well. It was designed by Carter Holland, you watch him ride, rarely does he do tricks not involving being in the air. He mostly rides dirt and when he is riding park he is jumping all the time.

I just know a buddy of mine with one and he has problems doing half a backflip(the half that makes you land on your headMadder ) when he is trying to pull up and boost in the djs thats just his impression i have honestly never jumped his though just becuase the fact it feels so cramped in the tt area.

it doesnt matter who pinches their seat or not its not like if some pro doesnt pinch , u shouldnt pinch either , but ya when u first lear barspins and stuff its good to have ur seat way up but as u graduallu start to get used to it u can do it with ur seat slammed and no pinchtup

its a really godd frame, before my riot, i had a norco one25(broken) and after a kona for waiting my blk mrkt riot and i was surprised how they spin easily. i ride it since 2 or 3 months and i can't find any bad things about them, probably just the headset(fsa impact) which is break. i ride it yet and its okay but if you buy it i think you should take a better one like demolition or a bmx brand.

i hope this comments will help and sorry for my english

you should get the eastern internal headset. it really nice check it out.
