Arts N' Crafts with Dan Brown

1 Take out seat foam and mark out where you want your grab holes and how you want your grab hole to look ( do the exact same on both sides of the seat.)

2 Get a long knife and cut the chunk of foam out.

3 I used sliders for my grab bars , that way when you have hard landings and hit the seat you don't wreck your back. So what you want to do is take your two sliders and bolt them the front of your seat base. Then cut out two small slots threw the back of your seat foam and stick the other two ends of the sliders through . Bolt them to the back of your seat base.


4 So now that you have slider were you sit down, you want get some flexible plastic, and foam to make a little sitting pad to bolt onto the sliders. ( Don't make the sitting pad to thick or it will make it harder to grip doing seat grabs)

5 Now that you have the main freestyle seat frame ready, tape everything nice and tight. This way it moulds rounded corners and prevents the foam from shifting.




6 It is now time to put on the seat cover. Put on the seat cover and staple it down to the seat base like usual. Once that is done feel where your grab hole is and make slits so that you can fold the seat cover into your grab hole and out of the way. ( I bolted wood on the bottom of my seat base so I could staple the seat cover flaps to it.)

7. It’s a good idea to put grip tape on the underside of the sliders, that way your hands don't slip when you grab it.

Well, I hope this gives you guys an idea on how to make a safe and clean freestyle seat, go huck yourself off some ramps and get those seat grabs dialed!
