Sup guys

Anyone going to be stunting this weekend? I want to start "trying" to do some circles, anyone want to give me some pointers and possibly get some hilarious footage?

 

watch a bunch of videos this week before you head out to the spot, watch other peoples body position and how they are moving the bike around. also hit up LT from st cloud, i know that those guys are always looking for people to ride and hang out with. any other questions don't be afraid to hit me up at Tice@haibikeshop.com and ill try to help you out with any questions. Good luck bro!!!!

 

circles are a bitch. i learned them on the fitty first and then brought them to the big bike. definitely watch other people do them and kind of go from there. most people can't circle to the right, but attempt to because your bike wants to fall that way when you are staggered, foot in seat, or foot it bar. i personally can only go left and see many people try to go right because it's easier to start that way (T-ice himself included lol) if you need help hit me up.

 

I allways circle right wether its staggered, foot in seat or SS. One of the main things I notice is that you HAVE to look where your going. If you are going to the left look past the bike to the left, if you are going to the right look past the bike to the right. I ussually pick a spot on the ground and try to stay with that. Once you get more of a feel you wont have to concentrate as much on looking. Your not going to get circles overnight just keep at them. I know a few people that have been trying the whole season and still dont have them. Just order stuntshine state From www.haibikeshop.com and watch T-ICE's form.

 

(no round bar yet)


I thought my tail was bad before I tried learning circles


you should see the ****** now! ahahahaha, its DEMOLISHED


and yea.......I forgot about looking to where you want to turn, I'll try that tomorrow.

 

that seems to help. i tend to look just to the left of my fender. if i'm focusin on anything i can't circle. the more zoned out i am, the better i can spin em. it's more of a feel thing when you really start to get it down. spinning them fast is so much fun.......

 

Did a CONTROLLED 3/4 circle! not one of those lean to one side and fall things!!! Looking where you want to go is the hot ticket. Pretty stoked about that, be nice if i could get circles before winter hits


How do you guys practice in the winter? Someone got a huge warehouse or something?

 

i think winter training is more how long can you take the cold till your fingers get numb? that's my problem. my fingers go numb and i can't clutch or run the brake anymore. **** happens.

 

To keep my fingers warm I wear latex gloves under my gloves when its cold out.. It helps trust me..

 

like doctor gloves? bend over it will only hurt for a sec?

 

yep those the ones.. lol
but mine are black like they ware on Miami ink


last winter I found I could stay out on the bike for about and hour or more at 35ish deg.s with them under my gloves before my fingers got too cold...

 

that is some damn nice info,,,,,,, very clutch my friend......... as for the circle progress 3/4 will last you a long time.... thats all i could do all summer but now with a little coaching from NOT blackness and LTizzle i've turned a few all the way around the transition from 3/4 to full it a large overwieght ginormous BIotch!!!!!!!!!!!
