Just started really doing trying circles i use to steer them around.....some of people have told me to try to use the footbrake but i feel 100 times better on the handbrake.....i can get them within 2 parking spots is that still considered a recon circle?

 

bro. you lost me! how do you use the foot brake in a SS circle??

 

HAHA...still a recon. ss circles are much easier to learn than footbrake circles. The benefit of footbrake circles is that you have a lot more body contact with the bike so stalling and highsiding isn't so bad. Just dip it in a little hot, get on brake for first quarter turn, then left off brake and give a little gas...you should get one full off of just that.

 

my bad....i ment people tell me try and use the footbrake and do foot in seat circles....but i feel like SS are easier for some reason....everybody learns different....i watch my friend whip them in a parking spot....i take two....is that still a recon

 

damn it....im running idle low idle....and 20psi....i hate the first person that went in a circle....WTF why couldn't we keep it going straight.....

 

Learn both and you will never be bored

 

Circles are easy {once you get used to them} well sit down circles are a bitch! but other then that! you need to learn your foot brake.. and only use your HB for off peg ****! and if you stall or highside a SS no big deal just jump off! unless there fast SS then your kinda fucked!!

 

my friend yells at me cause i always use the HB.....i have to do it sometime i guess....im alright on the footbrake i just like the HB better....i started going for a while with coasters....that should help me be easier on the brake i guess....i was getting bored too....

 

SS are definitely easier than any footbrake circles

 

i'm pretty much in the same boat your in...i tend to steer them rather then gas em..but i'm getting there.i'm also on a 900rr which doesn't help my circle game much.

 

circles feel great when you stall......
im learning with left foot on rear peg right foot on seat to the left....

 

oh they are a bitch, thats for sure. took me a long long time to figure out how to get them tight, and i still struggle sometimes. you just need to try and somehow keep your body straight and inline with the bike, rather than lean into it, which makes no sense at all imo, but it works.

 

My friend just got real circles the other day, he asked me 100X what hes doing wrong when he was just steering them(recon)....And I kept yelling at him GAS IT, GIVE IT ******* GAS.....He was just idling them around and not Brake, Dip,Gas brake gas braking them.....

The throttle is your friend! Without it your just steering on idle

 

^^ yea i found that spot a couple of times...when yer standing just right and the bikes at a certin height all of a sudden the bike pulls its self around ....deff a sweet feeling

 

you guys should come down over the weekend and we should all crash tryin to do circles...
