Re: SS O's

if i ever get my bike out of impund maybe i can try some more

so for a frist time for Os you guys say stick with SS Os first?

i was switching back and forth from SS and foot in seat left hand Os. i felt it was easier for foot in seeat to get it to dip, the point where you kinda rotate and dip the bike underneath you. that felt natural and good. after that it would jus fall or id gas out of it.

when i was tryin SS i could get a good dip but my body position felt all ****ed up. id unconsciencely counter my weight to make the bike go straight again. its an awkard feeling when you always trying to keep the bike go str8 during str8 line combos...which is all i pretty much do.

Practice.... A lot!!!!! Don't get frustrated, it's going to take time.. Progression in the beginning isn't going to be getting 1,2, or 3 circles, it's going to be learning body english to control the circle depending on where the bike is at like I explained above, and being proactive, or anticipating on having to gas it, before you actually have to, to keep the wheel up and circling.

Not sure, you cant tell by a pic or video. If your doing 3+ circles all the time your probably doing it right, if not then I'd say your doing something wrong.. Which could be body position, gas, or too much brake when it's high causing it to stall.

I would never run anything less than 22psi. If theres a slow leak well start out at 30psi.

it almost doesnt matter where your body is, as long as you're keeping your weight on the inside foot. If you weight the outside foot, it will stand up straight.

having a tire that changes pressure is gonna make it hard to learn. Consistant practice conditions accellerate the learnign curve

If body position doesn't matter, then your saying you can go into, or be in a circle where the bike is a little too high or on idle, be hanging back off the bike (arms locked out) and do circles?? Not going to happen, unless you have slipping the clutch HB on lock, which I think is just a crutch that you use cus you ****..LOL Body position is the most important when learning because your not perfect keeping the bike in the sweet spot all day, when you are you don't move much and gas brake correctly to keep it there, true... But when your learning, your dropping the nose and having to gas up to get the tire high again, or going too high and have to get up close to the bike, then have to push away to get it back down into the circle again to keep it going..

+1 on the practice conditions. Whether is't your tire pressure, brakes that get mushy - so keep em bled and tight, idle, whatever, will make your progression more consistant.
