Re: Circles
If you're just learning go to the left. Right won't really help you much.
Re: Circles
Those aren't really circles. Moreso just steering. Left is a different ball game. Try it. You'll see what I mean.

Re: Circles
Yeah I coulda posted a clip with just the good stuff but I'm showing the progress. Real soon I'll get them all like at 48. I've been stunt riding for less than a year so give me a chance.

Re: Circles
Why is there always a left and right fight. My dad got kicked outa school cause he was left handed. I'm left handed too, I do my circles on the right. I'm different OK. haha..
Everyone's got their comfort zone, I feel better to learn on the right. I'll do them on the left once I find it a joke to do on the right.

Re: Circles
dont take what i said wrong.. nice riding man.. im in the same situation as you.. been stunting for about 2-3 months on my bike and my FIS recons look like yours.. but choppier.. i found that if you put your foot on the seat and stand up until your arms are straight and your standing over the bike it responds a lot more to your inputs.. i just started hitting 2-3 tight circles in a row since i switchesd from FIS to FOS
nice riding! good progress!

Re: Circles
oh.. yeah i do them to the right too.. i dont like doing them to the left cause if you low side its harder to catch the bike if you ride with your foot on the rb.. i catch the bike with my right foot when ever i low side to the right
my bike would be gettin dropped a lot more if i was doing them to the left

Re: Circles
Going left forces you to do tight o's every time its difficult to recon goin left you pretty much circle or fall. Theres always the left/ right argument almost as much as hb on the top. its just a little awkward and wrong, do circles to the left and put your handbrake on bottom

Re: Circles
still lookin good didnt want to give the impression of hatin. I got a friend that did circles to the right w hb on top. he finally put the hb on the bottom and likes it better and hes startin to do o's to the left. Get them al little tighter and it really doesnt matter which way you go as long as there tight

Was he using the hb or foot brake?
