Lookin' for a new saddle?

what are some good saddle companies? I am riding a dirt jumping bike, so any type of BMX or MTN specific saddle would be fine.

I'm pretty happy with my DMR Dirt Jump saddle.....it weighs a ton but it's comfy. If you don't mind the weight and width of the sofa models, they're nice. If you're doing tricks off the back of the bike then you probably want something narrower. I have a couple of saddles from FBM, Fizik, and WTB that I really like, too, on different bikes. I haven't owned them, but I also ridden and liked the ones from Funn (Throne and the skinny) and Azonic. THE is nice, too. If you can find an SDG saddle, those rawk.

Pick one based on the shape you like and the amount of padding you need. I'd get one with steel or ti rails so that it's less likely to bend if you land on the seat or send the bike ghosting on a bail. Also, make sure that you get the right size rails for your seatpost clamp....some clamps won't take the 8mm size that's common on bmx and jump saddles. There are a few oddball 9mm rails out there, too. Most saddles are 7mm...some seatposts will take both 7mm and 8mm, just depends on the design.
