Keep the video's coming. It's been fun watching your progress, nobody else has been posting progress clips lately, myself included.

i've been trying to get out more but the spots i practice are usually only open during night or weekends.. the night footage i get sucks so i stopped recording most of it.

i moved from fis to a single foot seat stander.. i can knock out better circles now (4 in a row for the first time last night).. i'll try to get another video up soon

Do you mean foot on seat?? I'm still much more comfy with fis because I can get my leg straight. With fos, I have to keep my knee bent so I can't really control my turning.
I have the same problem, I can only ride my spot at night for about an hour. Almost every photo have had taken turns out shitty, somthing about the floresant lighting I guess.

yeah.. foot on seat i guess its called haha.. i straighten out my leg thats on the seat and stand way over the bike.. its soooo comfortable when your turning.. i think it has to do with my weight being higher up.. i also have alot more leverage standing up on the seat

Yeah...I need to start practising other methods, so I don't just get used to fis. I've tried to do **** staggered........not happening right now, I have to lean so far back its crazy.

What else should he learn first? I don't get it, do you think he should be doing frogs before he trys circles?
Turning is the next step, he can't go straight forever.
