On circles you got the lean angle but you still have the front to back balance point. Being behind the balance point makes them corkscrew in, and being under the bp makes them spiral out.

i agree with nick also... dip in while going faster...

im going to take all your advice guys and run w/ it if i dont get it on lock by S.W. i guess we'll just have to get @ the end of the track and i will get it after watching yall a couple of times its always easier for me when i can see it up close. such as last year i came back to texas w/ a bag full of new tricks and it was all thanks to everyone of you guys at the end of the track a few days before the comp. hey also remember i was riding a P.O.S. yzf600r now w/ this f4i im sure i will pick up a few new ones from u guys again this year thanks from ILLEGAL INTENTIONS

Re: Darius/Teach/and many others
seat standers with a shitty handbrake---you HAVE to lean the bike over.....which is why i have to apply HEAT to my shoulder tonight....gotta love the dismounts on a heavy lean angle circle.
Re: Darius/Teach/and many others
I'm sporting the old man body tonight as well, do you hold onto the bars the whole way too? Best thing in the world is holding on till the last second, hyperflatspinofdeath.

Re: Darius/Teach/and many others
brand new tires help alot too, the contour makes it alot easier, keep a steady throttle and overpower it with the brake.... makes it alot smoother and less likely to slide out.....also if your up for a tire change or have a spare rim lying around, try a 190, they pretty much make you go wide lol
