How tight can you do sit down circles?

I have been trying sit down circles lately and so far at best I have gotten around 1.5 times before i put my foot on the ground or have the wheelie fall back down. I have been trying to do them as tight as I can and thats where I am having troubles. Wide cricles are no problem I can have them go round and round.

How tight are your guys circles? how fast, and how many times can you go around? (without having a foot on the ground)

Re: How tight can you do sit down circles?

I would say my average is anywhere from 5-8 feet. I can get them really tight and fast,within 3 feet or less, but you have to really lean the bike over.

Re: How tight can you do sit down circles?

nice nice....

I love the feeling of having the bike leaning so low during a circle...rear foot pegs scraping!!

I guess I just need more seat time.

But not in this -20 degree weather we got right now..........It has never been this cold before as long as i can remember....--2 is alright to ride but not -20 lol

Re: How tight can you do sit down circles?

i can do about 10 sit down circles in a row with out foot down.. i never do foot down.. the trick is to do sit down circles without sticking your leg out.. thats where it gets tricky for me.. the most sit downs i have done on the fiddy is about 20-25...

Stand up circles I can go round lots...but even then I let it down cuz of dizzyness..

Re: How tight can you do sit down circles?

sit downs are about 5 feet i guess. i can drag my foot around a 2 foot diameter pole sticking way out, coming off every other circle.

with my right foot on the left peg like 3 foot circles maybe. after like 5 or 6 turns i get dizzle

stand up circles in between the lines of a parking space, however wide that is.

Re: How tight can you do sit down circles?

as you can see in my avatar...the only way i can get them fairly tight is sitting straight up and sticking my leg out on one rotation...creating more momentum
