"as soon as i touch the gas it pulls the left side down"

this is called a highside.


you need to lean the bike in more.


BTW, i doubt your gonna be able to walk the bike around in circles, i keep seeing someone needing alot of gas to bring it around, you'll need to go fast.


keep trying, stop being a douche.

here's a few tips for you:


if it falls inward, onto it's side, you need to speed up (the centrifigul force the biek was making, didn't eqaul that of gravity so the bike fell over, you need to increase the centrifigul force to keep it from fall ing)


if the bike is falling out, highsiding, you need to slow down. the complete oppisite of what i said before, gravity isn't strong enough to keep the bike falling inward, centrifigul force is to much)

Pete you need to get a quad and do this. Someone that can circle will do it. I don't think anyone will learn to circle on a quad but I do think a quad will be circled by someone good on a bike!!

GundamnitPete

i'm workin on it, my buddy down the street has this 50cc quad i'm trying to get off him.

it's not a 400, but it'd be a proof of concept, and hopefully it'd get alot more poeple trying

TNDragonrnr

In my mind the concept is proven. A quad has a balance point side to side just like it does front to back. With good speed control it can definately be pulled off.

old man roger

not to rag on pete but .......pete is pretty small so if he can do it on a fiddy quad ,then i think some 6 foot something jacked mother ****** should be able to do it on any quad .......

GundamnitPete

dragon, it's proven in my mind too, pretty much the first time i saw a qaurter spinning around on it's side till it lays flat, it's been proven to me some just don't see it that way tho.

roger, agreed.

I got a 400ex I'd prob. let you try 'em out on...................
no hate here but it still seems a bit far fetched to me...

johnnyharris

I dunno..... Joe Molina's got most everything on a quad on lock and circles bikes all day long. I'd think if it were just a matter of transferring bike skills to a quad Molina would've been doing quad circles yrs ago. I'd like to hear his input on this discussion.......

I think you all should spin in circles till you fall over.

GundamnitPete

i'm willing to try, but i'm a lil dude so i'll prolly have a hell of a time getting a 400 on one wheel.

Undead stunts

im going to start working on it cuz i got a blaster and they are light as hell should be a lot easier

KUTZ

One thing I don't think anyone has adressed is the shape of a quads tires []--[]
Compared to the shape of a bikes tire -()-
Where do you put the lean angle into?

GundamnitPete

two things.

1. the edges of a qaurter aren't round, but it still rolls around in circles fine

2. i've done circles on mountain bikes that have a huge lip on them, it's ALOT harder, but it still can be done.

Catman

Good practice instead of spinning quarters on the table would could be.

Get a bar bell , put 30lb on each side to simulate the weight of the wheels and a-arms, stand on one leg, extend the other leg all the way out. Now lean over to a 45 degree angle and hop around in a circle

Catman

He who understands this balance point soooo well , and made that statement

ive gotten my yfz450 for a 180 by fluke, a 360 damn that just crazy, btw it was a very big 180 lol
