I found that staying off the brake as much as possible makes them much easier that was the first circle I learned and they still seem like the 1 I need the most commitment to do still figure 8's are way fun too

Re: sit down circles suck

i typically do mine to the left.some advice my boy gave me(and it worked almost instantly)was to basically stick your head almost under you armpit..sounds weird but it worked..i held my elbows as high as i could and pretty much put my head in the direction i wanted to go.counter steer and tug on the right bar..it worked for me and a few i ride with...i suck at explaining things but if you get what i'm saying it just might work...lol..elbows up and the old look and lean...good luck...

I've been trying to learn them for awhile and what helps me the most is looking into the circle.

Re: sit down circles suck

I just started to get them consistent this year. I have to creep into them, but once you get them going it's A LOT of upper body movement to keep them going.

I found it easier to learn by bringing the idle down a little lower that I have for stagger O's.

Keep at it, they'll come to you.
