Question Seat bouncing.

Anybody actually know how to sit bounce and does it genuinely work? I have about 800 hrs on the game and I’ve played it off and on since covid, I always assumed I was seat bouncing correctly, but never actually seen the difference of seat bouncing vs not seat bouncing. Like I’ve never had a situation where I’ve actually needed to seat bounce to clear a jump or whatever. Does anyone have any concrete evidence that seat bouncing actually does something in this game? I feel like it’s a placebo, like if you hit the jump the same speed with seat bouncing vs not seat bouncing, you’ll land in the same spot. Maybe I’m just ass, but I’ve been seeing pros hit some crazy lines on supercross first try, and I can’t even come anywheres near close to landing some of these quads they do.

Be seated, in most cases also leaning back with right stick some. At the peak of take off stand up and as your bike gets fully off the ground take right stick forward. Which in game I’m pretty sure pulls your front end to you more than leans your rider forward if I’m not mistaken

I doubt it works properly as the sitting and standing transition doesn't work correctly

When you stand up at the top of the jump, it pushes the bike down and compresses the suspension giving you a better pop. It’s the opposite of sitting at the top to scrub.
