Road to circles?

Just wondering about how long it took everyone to start dippin circles. ( lets try and keep it real and honest ) How long from the time you put your first cage on your first bike to a couple circles in a row.

Re: Road to circles?

I was just your average squid rockin the streets about 2.5-3 years ago, for about 6 months... Broke my leg, bike got repo'd. I just got back into it (just stunting) about 5 months ago and have been doing circles for about a month. Seat stander circles i pretty much got them on lock but i have been doing Foot In Seat for the past week or so...

Re: Road to circles?

It takes time. Just when you think you got it all figured out and your exited because you did more than one the next time you pull it up is like starting all over. I have been riding a couple times a week and been trying seat stander circles and its been about 3 weeks and I can finally do about 5. I could rock them pretty dam good staggered with the foot brake. It’s all on how bad you want it.

Re: Road to circles?

it took me about 3 mo. of ridin once or twice a week to get seat standers. they still arent 100% lock. ive seen people do them in a few weeks.. always depends on the rider and how much seat time you can put in.. thats all stunt riding progresion is... seat time.

Re: Road to circles?

Not certain but I'm sure you have to be able to rock idle first.... Am I correct? so at this rate, ask me this question next year!!

Re: Road to circles?

Took me a couple months to do a few circles then like 3 more months to realize I wasn't doing the real circles in the first couple months. After a couple years doing them I'm always improving at them so it never gets boring.
