Still having trouble with staggered circles

yesterday i tried them all day long. I did 2 complete circles once but the rest of the day i was lucky to get a full 360* .

The time i got around twice I felt like i was in a sort of sideways balance point as odd as that sounds. I just can't seem to recreate it . Guess it's back to the lot today!

I'm doing staggered circles to the left with the right leg on the foot brake. Do you guys try to keep that back left leg locked? The problem is when i actually did the circles correct i was so amped that i wasn't paying attention to what i was doing .... hmmm maybe that's just it. I just gotta do it and not try so hard. It was cold and i was getting frusterated.

theres a way to cheat, you put the tip of your toe on the peg, then when you lean in, lean in really far til your heel drags on the ground. with you heel dragging you should be able to get a shitload of circles in like a 1 foot radius.

What seems to help me the most is to shift my weight to the outside of the bike and dip it in with the brake.
