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.

you're going to need alot of back brake. start to the left w/ your left foot out stabilizing the bike and your right foot on the brake. Play w/ your body weight and position on the bike. Everyone is different, just takes practice. Once you get them you won't want to stop

Re: how did you learn circles

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

Re: how did you learn circles

honestly...i think right handed circles are easier now that i have been doing them for awhile...it takes a lil bit to get them..once you get the left handers just switch it....oh and yeah my bro and i are bustin figure 8's ....we will have some footage up as soon as our sh!tty host gets everything straight....
