Cheers for help everyone, and da liks make another vid soon ive watch all your current vids about 1000 times already

And tigroo, i think i need to gas it a bit more and keep the bike turned fully into the circle, i seem to go around half way then it starts trying to straighten up, i just need more practice i guess!
dont be afraid to let go of the brake! keep that front up high!! lee was talking about comin over first week of april, is that still the plan and are you one of the dudes coming too? cuz i'll put you through some circle 101!

Hi guys, well..

the circles are sorta coming on, I can turn in okay to the right but struggle to get round.. whereas to the left I struggle to turn in but when I turn in it goes round nice and tight and smooth... needs lots more practice.. I kept falling off and couldn't work out why, but my exhaust was hitting the floor and chucking me off!!! So have stopped practicing those until I get the can cut down some more.

As for 1 and no handers.. well 1 handers are pretty much cracked!!




And no handers are almost there, I really appricieate your advice, it's worked wonders and I've got them like this now, just need to take the other arm off completely... It's a start though :YEAH

Re: 1/no handers . bars turn too quick, any ideas?

once u get confident with foot on seat no handers, but ur still not able to take your hands off, try sitdown no handers.. scoot all the way to the pass seat and clutch it up and get your hands off as fast as possible or you will get wobbly, they are ten times more easier and fun... it will teach you how to pulse the brake and then the standup ones become alot easier. and one more tip, learn to grab the front fender with your left hand, this will teach u to not be afraid to put you off balance while leaning really far forward.

and for highsiding circle, cover the clutch, slip it when your about to high side or pull it in... the first 2-3times is kinda scarey but after that its real easy to slip the clutch.. just gotta perfect timing.
