Re: SS circle problem or bad habit?

theres the video of the first day of trying them i was happy i could get the bike to turn in, but the cricles are WIDE and im going to the right it feels more natural to me i tried a few to the left which I will eventually have to learn for figure 8s but once i get them to the right it should be similar to the left?

Re: SS circle problem or bad habit?
this is pissing me off. I tell myself to let it go and my body stiffens up. When i do staggard i put all my weight to the right and highside. This is definitly the hardest trick to learn.....

[QUOTE=MikeM]Keep the weight off the outside foot, not even for a second. Dont lean in when it starts to fall in, just tap teh brake once then give it gas.[/QU
My problem is when i dip it in i counter steer with my body and it comes out of the circle. Its making me do big circles. I dip in and straighten and dip and straighten. I have to just commit and let it go but its like a refex. I'm just going to keep trying. I tell myself to let it go but i do the same thing every time.
