learning circles
what have you found to be the easiest way to learn circles? I can do them sitting down with 1 foot down no prob. i try and lift my foot up and it will either straighten out or i will have to catch myself from falling. Does standing on the rear pegs make it easier? ive been trying them sitting down every time i ride and havent been making any progress. its starting to get to me.

I think it's better to do them on a left rear peg and the right foot on the brake standing up. Stiffen your left leg and just lean left and go with it. It's ez to catch your self if you start to fall. Oh ya 2nd gear works best!

Re: learning circles
1st is easiest...ride your brake constantly and sit up on the "high side of the bike" ( opposite side from the way you want to circle).. from there, if it feels like it's going to fall inwards = gas it.. if it's going outwards get on the brake more adn let off the gas... you'll get it with practice
