any tips guys?

 

practice, practice........oh and more practice

seat time is the important part.....=-)

 

^What he said. I tried for what seemed like forever and could barely get 1/2 a circle, but a few nights ago it just sort of clicked. Trial and error mostly. You'll find out what works and what doesn't.

 

Oh, and don't spend all your time working on circles. Mix it up and try all kinds of tricks, it'll keep you from getting mad, plus you'll be working on adapting throttle and brake control in different situations, which will help you on circles.

 

what are you tryin ?(sitdown/ SS , standup) i was workin on new combos last yr..i learned to go from SS to RL and eventually would do that and fall into RL circles..they are really easy. after i got good at them i started workin on SS and standup O's - still dont have them on lock though cuz its winter and i stopped

just make sure you stay high enough. def gotta use some brake..

PRACTICE like the other guys said

 

sit down wit both feet on pegs i can do about one circle wit a rear brake at 20 percent brake power....im just god at throttle control lol...but

 

you can do the "*** drags" as i call them lol..

just work on the circles and drag a foot.. once you feel like you have it controlled try pickin the foot up and see what you can do

Try RL circles too..they are cake i think....right foot on rear peg and turn left..its cake

 

thot i would throw this in there since we are on the circle topic. In a staggered circle should i have the front end a little lower than the BP for going straight? I can make it about once around and then the bike wants to stand up and go to the opposite direction throwing me off.

It's doing this no matter how hard i lean, lock my rear leg, bend knees, shift body weight , etc. I'm started to get frusterated. I am fighting this bike like crazy to keep it balanced and make it around in a circle but i can't seem to keep it going without the bike coming up and going the other way.

If it matters my tire is on 18psi.

 

you talking about on a big bike i assume jake?

 

no i never drag my feet.......its a bad habbit

 

R-Benji, Na my fiddy. Big bike is dead atm.

I was actually riding a lot today and things are starting to come together. It really just takes seat time like everyone says. No amount of tips , etc can make you do a circle or wheelie correctly. Everyone is built differently and a different weight. You just gotta get out and ride.
