You should wait till you are pretty confident jumping standing up before you try sit down jumps.
Once you have learned about weight distribution to correct your bike in the air sit down jumps will be easier.

When I do a sit down jump I sit in the middle of the seat. I usually pull back on the bars and lean back a bit, This will bring the bike into the air a bit front wheel high. So I shift my weight over the front however much I need to to bring the front down.
This may not be the best way to do them, but it's how I do them.

pulling the clutch in and hitting the rear brakes works well too.

just as u come up to the jump, in a sitting postion , make sure u get the right power delivery, or it could get a lil harry haa,as i saw at toowomba supercross 2 nite :p

just experiment on a few small safe jumps and get use to trying it sitting down you will soon learn where to position your body ect.
then just slowly work your way up.

What you said is called seat bouncing. I sit towards the rear of the seat and give a little extra throttle up the lip then i would if i were standing up.

Just start on a small safe jump as Chris said and make sure you're still giving your bike a decent amount of throttle up the jump. Another thing you will need to do is really grip the bike with your legs. The first time i seat bounced it turned into a superman to superman lander.. lol

The way i do it is keep my legs pretty relaxed up the lip then snap my heels together against the frame as i come off the lip to catch the bike. Just toy with it on a small jump man till you find yourself a way that you feel compfortable with.

dude this usually only goes well if ur accelerating 1-4 gear on an 85,
i wouldnt hit it sitting down in 1st gear on an 85 coz ull prob end up on ur ass lol just hit it in bout 3rd, dont let go of the throttle, if the nose goes up too hit the back brakes, if it nose dives rev it flat as a panic rev
