Doesn't look like your pinching your seat???
Set a goal with no handers, for example clapping, and once you can do that, you should be able to do it everytime, its ugly to clap though (IMO) so dont clap :P Only use that technique when learning. :)

one hander lookbacker, last one
yeah i dont pinch the seat, i havnt tried yet, just didnt seem necessary to me. had a couple nice bails though just letting go of the bars too late and missing one hand back on or whatnot. i will try pinching next time.
Yikes man. I used to do it without pinching but I could only do it off one jump. I stoped riding for about 5 months and when I was back I tried pinching and could do it off almost anything, pinching is definitly much better, keep working at it it definitley takes time. You've passed the first stage tho, takin the hands off the bars! props dude thats awesome.

I agree with danny(dans the man) I find that when people pinch their seats it makes for a much nicer more stylish no hander.. rather then the non-pinching, where your bucked forward and sketched out.
Just my opinion from watching :P
ps. matt i love the one hander look back haha.. !
sweet no handers! thats my goal for this summer!!!
for ur no handers you definatley gotta pinch and lean back more.try to be pretty much standing up straight. and as danny says just do the clap when learning it.
BMX FOOLS!!!!!!!!!
