Nice riding. Maybe it's just the angle of the camera or maybe it's the knee pads, but it looks like you keep your seat really really low in comparison to most Muni riders. Is that just your preference or is it really not as low as it looks? Obviously, it works pretty well for you either way.

Thanks

You are right, my seat is really low (but it might look more extreme than it really is). My riding style bases on bringing my center of gravity as low to the ground as possible. This gives me a lot more control. Maybe this comes from my inline skating experience where you can prevent most falls just because you "squat" when you expect a fall.
