Re: Circles..
get maxxis hook worm on the back of the bike, then make sure you can wheelie in a straight line well, then ride in a circle, bring it up and keep the same speed and circle you had.
work on this until you learn how fast and what sized circle feels right on your bike.
with pratice you will be able to go from a straight wheelie into circles and right back out!!

Re: Circles..
^yes get hookworms^
also, to lean in some more (and get tighter circles) slow downa lil bit, go behind BP and use the brake. you'll fall inward a lil bit (you'll need to get back on the pedals pretty quick to, to keep from fallin in)

Re: Circles..
yup that stuff is pretty fun, i have maxxis holly rollers on my 24" bike and it changes circles by so much.
hookworms are the **** for circles, i would go as far as to say you probably need them to learn!
im learning 1 handed circles on the holy rollers maybe ill post a video if i can get up to like 2 circles

I turn my bars in a opposite direction to the way im turning, dont know if you do this.
Forget about doing tight circles too, start in a carpark and make the circle as big as yo can then gradually, make it smaller it'll help.

But i havent done circles for ages, being stuck in a hard gear with a broken shifter(took it apart when i had to fit new cable, and snapped it doing tricks
) doesnt help me.

Re: Circles..
Did you guys learn standing up or sitting down. I can wheelie sitting forever but im not so good at standing so would it be more practical for me to learn sitting or should I just polish up standing and then learn doing that?
