So I finally started getting circles tonight...it's my second night riding in over 10 months..torn ACL in August. I tried them on wednesday and couldn't get half a rotation, put some air in the tire tonight and bam pretty much first try and I got it. I'm not as smooth obviously and the most in a row was 2, but hey I can finally do it. Just need some seat time now to make them tighter and more consecutive I got some video with my iPhone since I forgot to charge my camera. I'll post some stuff up later this weekend after I get some more footage.

.....but my *** is killing me from the lack of riding, **** monkey butt (<----feel like this guy right now)

 

Hell yeah, air in the tire makes circles turn easier. Less air in the tire makes straight balance side to side easier. Keep doin what u doin.......You're only in as much pain as ur mind believes that ur in. If u dont have time to think about pain, then chances are u feel less pain......=-)

 

^^^ya that works till you have to load up......

 

No **** huh, good thing it only weighs 100lbs!! The tire is pretty firm now..not like i'm new to this so it didn't affect the straight line stuff at all. I see a lot of guys have their bars leaning forward more than just straight up and down, is there a reason or just prefference? My legs are kinda long, 6'2" tall, so i'm having trouble getting my foot through the bars and I was thinking this might help some.

 

Bars forward means your hands are higher when in a wheelie.

 

I might try pushing them forward a little tonight, might also give me that little extra i need to swing my leg through instead of hitting them.
