Re: how did you learn circles
practice and lots of it. try shifting most of your weight onto the right side of the bike so you can get more angle on it while turning and use your left foot to keep your balance.

also the tighter the circle the more brake and less throttle...circles dont tkae alot of throttle...keep practicing bro they will come to you.. :YEAH

the thing i learned thats helped the most is when you get goin itll want to lowside a lot, when it does get in the gas hard and you can keep goin forever. everytime it tries to fall to the inside get on the gas and it will speed up, but circles will get tighter

Learn them to the right first. Everyone goes left. When you get them to the right you can then learn to the left. There would be nothing cooler than figure 8 circles.
Just slide yer butt off the seat in the opposite direction you want to circle. Work the brake and throttle. It takes a while but soon you will be rocking 30 plus circles. I learned without taking my feet off the pegs. I like that style much better. Now I can do foot off,saran wrap etc circles. Just work on it.

hell never learn circles if he tries to learn going right because the way hes doing it is dragging his right foot. what are you supposed to do when you need the brake? if you can learn left, you can learn right, but hes gonna need his right foot by the brake to learn

Who says to the right is the hard way? I don't take my feet off the pegs to do circles if I don't want to. Hug the tank with your legs and work the hell out of the rear brake either way.
My circles to the right are garbage right now, but i'm working on them. :YEAH
I just think if someone can go right really well they are
