Re: Circles

I can occasionally get 3-4... but it's rare. 1.5 to 2 is more my speed right now...

I take it.. if you're turning left, you have your left cheek on the seat and the right cheek hanging off? Also, make sure you've got decent air pressure in your tire... pumping up helped me get from 1 to 3....

PS... don't listen to Buzz... he don't know ****.

Re: Circles

ok here was my problem and it seems like everyone eles's to, your prolly tryin to do decently tight circles right? b/c them look the coolest... first before you do that, go find a pretty big parking lot and just try wheeling around the corners start big then work your way to smaller so you get the hang of turning and keeping it turning with out it falling down...... once you get that down then work on the tight circles which you do in first gear.....

i had the same problem you did and this worked for me,, now i can just do circels until i get dizzy or my arm starts to hurt.... hope this helps

Re: Circles

I went out and practiced last night... after about an hour and a half of constant trying I finally pulled off one full circle... but it only happend once... I have no problem turning while the wheel is up but just keeping it going around... are you guys using alot of brake? and keeping it up at the bp? or what...

I'm still learning. Last night I was doing them in 1st gear really tight. Working the throttle and brake. I got to the point where I can do 2-3 in a row with my left hand dragging the ground behind the bike. Looks as hell.

I am trying to do them in second now so I can do them faster.

I also have pegs on the rear axle so I can do stand up circles. Also need to learn to do them to the right so I can get figure 8's down.

Practice and seat time will get them for you. Try putting your *** off to the opposite side of the direction you want to spin. If you want to circle to the left slide your *** to the right. It pushes the bike to the left then.

Good luck and ride.
