sayin that tho i spend more time off the bike than on it lately, ****** circles to the left!! is it just me or is there no way to bail if it highsides! just spits you off superman styley
If its highsiding you that bad your doing somethin wrong. If i highside then i fall no more then the side of my bike, and i can still hold the bars and keep the engine running. Sounds like you tipping in to fast or to much lean angle and its flicking you off. Turn in from idle and if you go to highside you need to gas it and stay with it. shut off or brake and back out the circle will make you highside every time.

Re: Elvington Stunt comp

When I go to left I lean the bike over FAR too much I think and don't give it enough gas to compensate the angle so when it spits me off i go flyin... I just need to stop leaning the bike over so much but can't help it I suck at circles Can go left and right but both badly! well at one stage I was getting 4-5 to the right but now I can barely get 1 again... sucks..

The thing is to understand what it is you are doing in a circle in the first place!

then you can circle left and right in all positions! if you learn clutch control and use of the bar break then all permutations of circles will become clear to you. whether they are left or right!!

Re: Elvington Stunt comp

I understand it Glyn after you taught me, but just doing it is a different thing. I haven't practiced circles specifcally /that/ much, I just need to spend a day strictly doing circles to learn them better... I did get 1 and a half ss cirles tho! but no one saw it so no one believes me but I did it :YEAH

going left has improved my confidence and control so its making going right a bit easier, just a matter of practice practice practice really.. ive only been spat off 2 maybe 3 times but lowsided lots. Thank god for sick innovations cages.

I tihnk my ONLY problem is that I don't gas it enough, everything else is fine I think its just the lack of throttle

Re: Elvington Stunt comp

I'll echo the fact that you tip it in too much going left. You basically let the bike drop in and then don't get on the gas.

Not speaking from experience here (its called RIGHT for a reason :p) but I think that's the problem.
