Re: foot down
Are you doing wide circles or tight ones?
If your just learning, don't try learning tight! When I first learned circles on my 150f, they were over 100 foot wide
and I kept doing em over n over n over n over n over, untill I was spinning them 30 foot wide, then 20 foot wide, then 10 foot wide, then in 1 parking space

Re: foot down
yea... I would even use it to scrub off speed on the pitbike with wide fast circ's in order to tighten them up again, or I'd tap it down for whatever really.... I always ended up hovering the right foot on stand ups, cuz I only had a peg on the left side and that started some bad habits right there for me too.
IMO those damn fiddys help..... sure, but they also instill some bad habits that are hard to break whenever you move up to a streetbike.
Just practice makin a concious effort to place it on the peg mid revolution... eventually you'll go from tappin the peg really fast with your foot, to keepin it on the peg for a 1/2 a sec, then a sec, then seconds, then almost a full revolution, then revolutions,....and THEN you'll have to learn it standing up....... so it starts all over again. That's the beauty of this sport... it's never ending!!
Only example pic that I could find... wide fast circ's with the daughter on board... Notice the right foot?lol
