hi iv just started to learn idle and coasters... and can get half a turn on the O's..... but should i learn idle no handers long coasters in a straight line before startin O's or should i just go straight in????

Also do you use gas in O's or is it just idle n brake???

 

hi glinglo, well done on the half circles, cant wait to see you ride.

From what I've read over the forums I don't thik coasters or no handers will help you with circles, but idle will do.. not 100% sure though! but always good to learn all the others too :YEAH

good luck

 

well done on twelvin your f4 but i cant quite see have you got a bar on now?

is it being worn away yet?????

 

hi, I put a pro series freestyle ing. bar on it a while back, I've only ridden once since then and didn't scrape it , highest I got was in my avatar pic if I rode more I'd have got it eaasy but I just haven't.. I'm about to be back riding lots and will scrape it very soon I'm very close I just need a bit more riding time.

 

Coasters and no handers all help with circles in a way,, but if you work on riding idle that helps the most.. Circles involve everything, you gota know how to slow down a wheelie, speed it up, stay on idle and just be comfortable and really know what your doing and whats going on.. When your able to come into a circle and find idle and that angle that is working then you will beable to do circles all day long.. Its just a matter of finding that speed and learning how to keep it there, and adjust to whats going on.. Alot of body position as well..

 

+1 on the body position. another little tip that TonyD gave me was while you're rollin on both wheels with idle up, cut the front wheel tight, all the way to the left, and just circle while your hands are off. you'll learn to control the rear brake to a certain speed and get used to the engine sound. just a tip to help you out. and when you're actually practicing real circles, don't be afraid to use some throttle.

 

yeah man iv got those no handed both wheels on ground circles on lock i can stand up sit down chanse direction without hands go in without hands too etcetc so you have just given me the confidence i need cheers man

 

when i come down mate i think we will help each other out sooo much. i think we'll have a full circle by the 10th for sure:YEAH
