My old boss used to get mad at me because I rode on the floorboard. I told him it's like watching your favorite superheroes growing up and being told not to do what they do. Why do some of y'all ride with no air in the seat? Seems like every time I ask a guy out here in the world I get a different answer. I do it because I've watched all the cool supertruckers do it. Stupid reason I know
How many of you have air ride seats for no reason

to me, it ain't cool looking to be sitting on the floor, if that was the case, then rip out the freaking seats, and sit on a milk carton.
sitting that low, no way possible can you see what's directly in front of you, especially at stop signs/red lights, etc.
be the PROFESSIONAL and sit up properlyOpendeckin, beastr123, brian991219 and 15 others Thank this. -

I hate bouncing all over the place with air in the seat and, if there isn't enough to bounce me around, it slams down to the floor anyway. When I sit properly in the driver's seat, the top of my head is only a couple inches below the top of the door window. This is how I sit in traffic or in town. Only on the big road with traffic spaced comfortably apart do I revert to my poor posture habits and slouch.
I don't have air ride seats in my pickup and it's a much rougher ride than the truck.sevenmph, Art Vandelay, tinytim and 5 others Thank this. -
No air in the seat can cause back injuries over time.

That's what sitting up with no air looks like for me. I'd say I've got a pretty good view of the road.snowlauncher, sevenmph, Art Vandelay and 5 others Thank this. -

If your air seat is taking you for an up and down ride, replace the “Shock”.
I use to ride my seat the the floor when I was “young and dumb”, what until you get some age... your back is gonna thank you for it.
Something else.... for you young skateboarders, “Quit” jumping of the trailers..... you will pay for it also within age. Can you say “knee surgery” !!!!!!CorsairFanboy, beastr123, Feedman and 12 others Thank this.
