got the wheelies on lock in 2nd and 3rd i can ride them forever but these circles are kicking my *** in 2nd i can turn big *** circles like around a parking lot but i try 1st gear cirles and can only get them haf way befor the bike runs out of gear ? is here anything im doing wrong

 

Keep it slow. look where you want to go. you dont use gas go go into a circle so your doing that all wrong. you go in deep on the brake and just when your slow enuff to just fall over you lean and gas into it then brake then gas then brake and so on.. takes a while to learn.

 

which are easier sit downs or standing on the pegs

 

I just started bustin 0's and the way I learned was standing staggard (right foot on rear brake) altho I use my hand brake more. All you really need is seat time! Practice,practice,practice.

Some ppl start with sit down but its all personal preference.

 

I am kinda in the same boat as you kawi. I can wheelie for days but no circles on lock yet. I know I just need more practice as I'm sure you do also. Are you turning yours in left or right? Im working on left circles. Watch some videos on youtube of 50's circling then go ride right after. Thats what I been doing and it seems to help.

 

I took my own advice yesterday, watched some vids and went out and practiced. Staggered was the way to do em for me. Got about 6 or so left staggered circles at a time before tapping a foot down or just messin up. Did some with both feet on rear pegs and was much better than before also. sitdown still tougher for me without putting a foot down, just gotta keep at it, but was very exciting to finally be able to do that many in a row.

 

lol i did go on you tube and watched some videos to trying to see a better way to do them. i got one sit down circle but i gotta order pegs off stunt 50 so i can stand staggered and see if they work out better

 

It sounds to me that youre not quite on BP in first. Once you get BP down in first just dip into the cirlce, throttle and brake. If you have to throw the leg out to help you when learning. But make sure once you get them down to get that leg back on before people clown on you.

 

kawi are you getting them? if you dont have pegs i say get them. Staggered was the key for me to learn them. After doing staggered for the past few sessions I gave both feet on pegs a try again and sitdowns an they were worlds easier. I had to laugh after I tried them sitting down and did 3 or 4 both feet on pegs 1st try when before I couldnt take my foot up for 1 second without messin up and that went on for days and days. Once you get em 1 way the rest fall into place. I going left circles btw.

 

sorry for gitting off topic but yo black empty your pm box and your never on aim you wanna ride thi weekend
