Re: I made an O

I didn't know what it was until recently don't feel bad, recon is where your basically steering to help you get used to balancing and leaning for O's.

Re: I made an O

recon = wide circle where youre steering the bike and not dipping it in - not tight and not considered an O by people who can do O's.
circle wheelie / o = tight O's with lean to it where you dip the bike into the circle rather than steer

cmon tho - you guys know the difference lol. when you see someone steering a wide recon you dont think **** check out homie doing circles. but when someone is rippin tight o's you take notice.
