Ok guys, Not really looking for smart *** remarks but just some help to advance....Whats some tips and tricks you have used to learn circles. What are the steps you took to get there EX: Idle wheelies, 12' oclock , turn? I get to these points in stunting where I almost feel stuck but I keep riding and each day I put in makes me that much better.
Id really like to start turning ASAP but where im currently at the bike feels like it is going to launch me off....

Ok im ready guys ....................let me have it!

 

Circle in easy steps:

1. clutch it up

2. dip it in

3. get on the gas

4. brake and gas accordingly (funky body english is encouraged)



haha only thing i can say is the gas brings it around so dont be to hard on the brakes. and keep your weight on the inside foot. and keep the front wheel up.... those should help no matter what trick your doing.. sitdown standup staggered whatever...


oh an i got balance point on my R1 first then scrapped started dipping staggereds swithced to seat stander and got circles. once i was on my f4i i dont think it was a month before i had em... could be wrong. but didnt take long, esepcially with the riders i was riding with

 

Im rolling with my foot in the bar right now using only the handbrake....I can scrape and do seat standers....should i practice those more instead of FTB ....I wana turn and have gotten little nothing turns so far but like I said it feels like its going to hurt if I go more. Do the SS turn easier

with FIB your body is on outside of the bike if your dipping left like i did first. so its like a blindside trick were you would have to dip the bike over, which for someone learning would be more "scary" haha. so seatstander to me is the easiest way to learn. from there everything else came natrually intime. just stay centered always on bike. dont try an throw your body in. most people do that an keep bike straight and the keep going straight or highside out haha. like i said keep the wheel up dip the bike in.. and continue to keep the wheel up and your good! hahaha

haha yep

 

+1 keep your body with the bike and try to use one finger on clutch and one on brake it will help save high sides look towards the ground where your going and just gentle gas brake repeat (helped me) and it'll just get easier and easier the more you do it

 

I'm still learning myself can the occasional 2&1/2, but what is holding me back is too much brake, ride it inadvertantly with my stance staggard to the right. Dip it in, weight the inside foot and counter steer.

FF r1 circles?

looks good. Keep it up!

 

ahah havent done circles on the R1 yet. when i ride it next. ill do alil circle sesh on it haha staggered woo

 

Aight!

Hows that switchback Coming ?

 

there coming

 

I know you dont have a bar but did you ever try foot on seat or maybe take your seat off and do foot in trunk Im in the same boat where i'm just learnin and I usually get 1 - 1.5 but i'm doing fib which seems a lot easier to me. and from what others have told me staggered is a lot harder then fib I tried staggered a few times but **** that for now lol. looking good tho

 

Tire pressure................

 

Www.Haibikeshop.com

ask for the circle button

 

Don't go lower than 20. It'll feel wobbly if you're used to low pressure but it helps you turn in.

I like 25-30, unlike some of the crazy ******* on here than run 35+

That wobble feel ya can use to your advantage to turn it in. Try not to hang on the brake to much. Let it run around then catch it on the brake.

 

Hey Cjoec Are You Hand Braked On Your Bike?

 

its easy just try to ride your bike in circle and you must be on rear wheel.

 

Yeah go with SS for now waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier. I've been trying to learn foot in rear seat circles which is similar to the FIB and I'm definitely not comfortable doing those...

First you want to get SS on idle and be able to stay in idle for a good ways before you want to start learning to dip in

 

do a SS and dip the bike back ride the moter break and let the ldel catch then lean alittle left or right what ever feels best and then when it cuts straightn up and hit break according and keep wheel high with idle if you feel the bike throwing to the oppisite side pull it in and break then let ldle take you again.. the more you lean the bike in the more gas you need to keep the wheel up... ride idle circles first to feel it out so you dont whip it around and hi-side if you feel your high siding alot you need to lean more in cheak your break to slow down.... good luck.....
