Re: help me out w/these damn circles

look to the inside of the circle....you will go where you are looking...if you concentrate on that...it will happen.

Re: help me out w/these damn circles

ROck the wheelie as slow as possible....right before you fell its gonna stall let off the brake and straighten your left leg and bend your right up near your gas tank. Keep your left leg as straight as possible.

The hardest part is staying in the circle once you get it going.....you really have to use your upper body to make the bike go where you want it. It's a slow process but dont give up and you'll get it.

Re: help me out w/these damn circles

I have been working on circles for about 2 months I can go wide but every time I get it to turn nice and tight I can only do a 180 then it falls how the hell do you get it to keep going. Are you guys on the trottle alot or what? By the way, I can only turn them to the right.

Re: help me out w/these damn circles

It just feels more natural turning to the right. I don't really care, If I could only go left then I would only go left.

Re: help me out w/these damn circles

the looking into the circle didn't work for me...all i know is i went out the first day tring and hit 2 and was like hell yeah, second time trying i hit 5 and thought damn this isn't so bad i think i can get it, third time out i couldn't even turn the bike the only thing i have figured out for sure is that you have to straighten that left leg and apply just the right amount of pressure and you have to have air...i ate up 2 tires running it low...but it definately is the hardest trick to get down in my book, just when you think you are onto them you are right back at square one.

keep practicing man, Im with u
Man as tight as your no handers and s*** were in BSS i am shocked you don't have the circles on lock...makes me feel a little better though because that shows the difficulty.

Re: help me out w/these damn circles

i like to weight my inside foot, look into the circle....more gas if you are falling too far in, or the nose is dropping....more brake if you are about to highside or the nose gets too high and wants to stall the bike...body weight is a great way to compensate when the throttle, clutch, brake wont do.

use the clutch (feather it) to prevent it from stalling when it gets to that point...

visualize, i locked circles down over the winter!!! i swear!!!

Re: help me out w/these damn circles

I am no circle master unless I am on the fiddy but... I do watch alot of the best riders do thier thing and I take alot of pics to study..

What I have noticed is that:

you have to keep your weight back. Use the bikes weight to your advantage with cintrifical force. <--spelling ?
I have noticed alot of them turn thier heads into the circle and use the bars/front wheel to manipulate how much they want to lean. (left circle) Turn left lean more.. Turn right to straiten up more. (mental weight distribution) When starting its almost like they fall into the circle.. slow the bike way down and allow it to start falling and then use the throttle controlled by the brake (of course) to pull out of it thus circling the bike.

Thats what I have noticed and try to do the most and it seems to work for me..

Peace good luck
