Left Circles Vs. Right Circles

Why do left handed circles seem to be the standard. Any opinions on why some say they are better. Most of the pros do left circles so there has to be some kinda reason? Right ones can be done just as tight so what is it?

left is easier to me because of body postioning u are over top of the bike going to the left as where the bike is on top of u going to the right. this is how i see it

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles

So do you think right handers are just as impressive. It seems to me they don't get respect. Like right handed circles aren't really circles.

It is the opposite for me , that's why I am asking. I wanna start going left but right handers are so much easier to me. Then I see everyone going left and I feel like I am doing it wrong

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles

Just by thinking of doin RH circles!!!!, I think left are easier, it's somehow natural (maybe for righthanded people), and RH circles seem unnatural, I can't explain it better...

I can't do 'em but I think I soon will be, it's just my opinion...

ditto.

some people say RH are easier, but usually those people are just riding around in the idle in wide cirlces...and a 10 foot radius is wide. there is a difference btwn riding around in a cirlce and doing a circle.

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles

I was having the same problem...it felt easier for mw to go to the right than the left...still haven't quite figured it out, but after talking to a few people I'm just gonna try going to the left....to bad it's almost the end of the season up in Maine.

Rick Nasty and JC kill RH circles....very tight.....very impressive! I don't think one is easier then the other....just depends on wich one you learn first.

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles

Its easier to fake a circle going right (leaning half way off the bike), but getting a lean angle & making it tight is hard either way.

+1
When you hang off the right side to turn right, that doesnt count as a circle. Thats an oval, and everybodys got nth ovals all day. Thats too easy.

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles

I think its like skateboarding or surfing, your just more comfortable one way or the other. Some like left, some right, some do both.
