Don't try and circle so tight, try one that is like, 15 feet wide. Not as much of a tight turn would help, and then you could worry more about throttle control then turning.

Re: someone tell me what im doing wrong

It almost sounds like the idle isn't high enough. like it drops out too far to carry you through.

just my thought

but hell, I can't do circ's either

Re: someone tell me what im doing wrong

You are ALLLL over the place... you really need to get more control of your bike. You pop em' up fast, but you roll into them with very little control. Out of all of those you tried probably 3 of them were controlled. Learn idle better, and roll into them a bit wider.

I was thinking the opposite

the hardest part of learnign circles is keeping the nose from getting too high. lowering the idle helps with that

Re: someone tell me what im doing wrong

Jesus Corey get rid of the R1!!! I cant even do circles on mine, the idle sucks and my rear brake is too touchy probably because of the wave rotor. Get a 600 anything, but seriously your beating a dead horse trying to stunt that thing

Re: someone tell me what im doing wrong

first thing i'd say to help you out is..... move the pick up for the corner of the lot, you ever seen a run away bike on idle???

like what Darius said, get a 600 and get smooth on the brake, i'm learnin at the min and dont crash that much


good work still, and you got some *****:YEAH

Re: someone tell me what im doing wrong

ive only been riding bikes for 4 years. we are a little behind you americans in the stunt scene, but we are getting there. as for getting a smaller bike, ive tried smaller bikes and dont like them, just my way i guess. the bike has no trubble riding the 12 all day and the carbs dont *** up at all. (i had them fixed) i try running them wider cant seem to always cut them in tight.
as far as crashing goes, those clips are from 2 months of continues stunt practice. i just got a 56 tooth sproket so ill persist with the circles as it doesnt seem to labor the motor as much now when i slow down. ill get em on this R1 darious you'll see :P oh and this is a clip where im actually pulling sit off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1cVjySYseg
