Re: Circle wheelies

it took me 6 months,, of everyday trying them , But i live in Canada,, NO ONE here can circle so i learn by myself with no tips or pointers from ANYONE. Trial and error,, So when someone does 1 in 1 day,, i get pissed. I dropped my bike at least 300 times learing,, 180 after 180,, then 270 after 270...

Re: Circle wheelies

been riding 12+ years, still trying to do a FULL CIRCLE! been working on the circle for about 2 riding seasons now, can get to 180 degrees or so and that's all i got, probably just end up sticking to what i do best, old school hi-way stand-ups, rolling burners etc.

Re: Circle wheelies

It took me about two seasons of riding to get them....I was in the same predicament as Scott. The only other guy that I knew of around here doing them was Ronnie Hurst, and we never got to ride together. Figuring them out for yourself makes it a little harder, I would guess, but all you guys that have been trying- don't give up! One day you'll just get 'em......then it will all fall into place. It is hard to be tagught how to do a circle, anyway. You just gotta keep at 'em and get a feel for it.

Re: Circle wheelies

I dont need to be tought,, even just seeing it live makes a world of difference. Being able to hear it, see the angles and how it works.. Besides, when you see it, and your riding with them, then its not so hard to pick up your bike, cuz your in a better mood already. I've only seen circles live twice in my life. Once in L.a with Bullo, and Huff. And then in Vegas with Nick, Apex.. Those were two of the best days i had riding.

I agree, having other people there helps alot. Even if they aren't doing o's, at least someone is there to help you stay motivated. Sometimes a little encouragement is all it takes to help you keep going. Video helps too. I was able to watch the tape and see what I was doing wrong. I was falling in with the bike and didn't even notice until I watched myself for a few minutes.
