I start in SS, get 3 or 4 circles down, go to step into it, and as soon as i do, i start spiraling down to the inside. Whats the trick? My SS circles are okay... Usually only blipping the throttle once or twice for a complete revolution, 4000rpm idle or so.

Anyone got some tips?

 

I'd personally wait tell you have SS circles LOCKED in.. In other words 10+ ss's every time..

RL is a hard trick, if you highside it, your FUCKED.. You can't just step off as easy as a SS or staggard...

I personally am not ******* with them yet, but thats because I suck at SS and can only do 2-3 ss's at best

 

yea you should get SS on lock then go to fib circles or staggered, then sitdowns

but if you are determained on trying to learn them maybe try doing striahgt line RL and dipping it in from there. you just gotta keep it high, if you let it drop its just going to fall in or highside you

 

RLs balance higher than SS. As you're stepping to the peg, give it a little gas to bring the front up higher.

 

yeah i highsided one the other day. Its a pretty helpless crash.

I wouldnt say i have SS on lock, but i can do them until i get dizzy. at the end of yesterday, i was getting 5-8, fairly consistantly.

And i cant do sitdown anything to save my life. Dunno why. They just dont click for more.

Guess ill just have to keep at it.....

 

5-8 isnt getting dizzy try king romels 160 sum in a row thats getting dizzy haha

 

thats insane. but cmon. ive been doin this just under a year... and im from maine, so our season is short as hell.... gimme a break

plus if uve had as many concussions as i've had, even watching the toilet water go down will make you dizzy.

 

I ruptured my right ear drum from a flipped stoppie in January. Since then I get dizzy around 5-6 and after 10 or so I cant even stand up when i put the wheelie down.

Very true
Seeing as how I just did these for the first time last sunday here's my take, try right as you are going to dip in to a ss circle, try stepping down then. bring your body closer to your bike and kind of lean across it. something like that.

 

thats crazy. howd you rupture your ear drum? where you wearing a helmet?

maybe that was my issue. im fine doing them in a straight line, but maybe i wasnt leaned over the bike enough... ill have to try again sunday.

 

BP is higher like mike said and try stepping right down like jeff said.
I like to bring it back to idle and then just step down. When I was first learning I did SS O's with 1 foot to the inside like I was going to step down and got them on lock. It made the step down easier IMO.

 

started getting the hang of them yesterday.... i could do a few ss O's, step into RL, do a few, then back up to SS for a few.

What made it work for me, was to blip it, just as i stepped down, and to slip the clutch just a little when i went to step back up to SS, because otherwise id start to highside

 

Dirt bike helmet. Broke my jaw too
