DECO flatland seats?
« on: February 22, 2015, 09:45:37 PM »
Spotted on BMX Union, some pics from Frostbike show:

Here’s a look at a new flatland specific Pivotal seat that Chad has been working on. This seat has a smaller design with a plastic bumper on the rear and hand holds on the bottom. Definitely unique.

Too little, too late. I think lots of folks have already moved on from these, no?

I still like them as does everyone in our crew. problem is infinity, colony, and the other cookie cutter companies stopped making them. Thanks deco!

Great news , apart from the watanabe there doesn't seem to be a flatland friendly seat available , all the pivotal seats have horrible box sections underneath which require grinding out before u can even use it

Yes, it's smaller than deco's current seat, but its the same mold as the infinity, colony and others.  I agree with leeroy002, not very many good flat comfy seats out there with good grip/size

I don't know if its that same base, maybe your right.

No one can afford to make a new pivotal mold for flatland, it's a very small market.

I've been riding a plastic Odyssey Pivotal seat with a custom handle for years and I love it.


I just took a piece of EPS, sanded it to a desired shape, laminated it with a fiberglass/poly resin and glued to the seat.


Cheap and easy to make.

You shouldn't have to grind out or use resin just to use it for flat , odyssey what happened man, you used to be cool
