Getting Dizzy in O's? Frog O's?

Aight, I know this is kinda a dumb post, but I'm starting to blow out more and more consistent circles. Its getting to the point where I'm getting so disoriented/dizzy that I have to set it down. Where does everyone look? I think i'm watching the front of my bike.

Also, stepping up into frog. Does everyone step with their inside foot first? Any advice would be great. I can get one circle with my outside foot on the tank but it starts to highside when i go to get on the tank. Thanks. Flame on.

Re: Getting Dizzy in O's? Frog O's?

i get dizzy too , i just try to look over the bike in the direction om going in and that helps but some times i just have to slow down or put it down ....

if i look at the bike i get dizzy quick cause every thing around me becomes a blur..

going to froggy with either foot is just a matter of having the bike leaned in enough , for me it is any ways..

ya thats what happens to me.

rog would you say you need to dip it farther when you step to frog and then it will come back out or is does it need more angle cuz your weights higher?

Re: Getting Dizzy in O's? Frog O's?

When I broke my eardrum I would get dizzy after only 1 circle. I found that focusing on some stationary object for 1/2 the turn, then picking a new spot to look at for the next half (and so on) helped a lot.

I step to frog with the outside foot first, thats not the important part tho. The important part is that frogs balance higher than SS, so you have to give it a little gas when you transfer your weight to the tank foot.

I can't do circles, but this is one of the best ways to avoiding getting dizzy.

Re: Getting Dizzy in O's? Frog O's?

Search works awsome sometimes!! To all the squids this is a prime example...

I had a question about getting dizzy... used the search and voila!!

Ohh.. today I did soo many circles that i got soooo dizzy i had to let it down, put down the kickstand, and try to focus.. was sooo not used to doing that many, I probably doubled the amount I have ever done.. problem too was they were getting tight and fast.. anyway, gonna try and look at stationary objects next time to see if that helps!
