**** circles

jk, circles are cool

i'm trying SS to the right, i can do half circles all day long, but that's it, juss half. it's like bein w/ a chick but only being allowed into half the holes, it sucks!

anyway, after the half, it wants to high side and i'm forced to either eat **** or to bring it down.

do i juss need more practice, or is there a secret to gettin past that half-way point?

Re: **** circles

Keep the front end high and dip it in. That'll get you around at least
once, LOL. I've been stuck at about 2 circles for a while now, but yesterday I raised my tire pressure up to about 24psi and I improved alot. I'm going ss to the right also.
The only other tip I can give is practise, practise, practise.

Re: **** circles

the only help i have is raise your tire pressure, turn your wheel the opposite way, lean upon the bike, find idle, look at the ground the way you want to go. no particular order. howthat helps.

Is it common for people to look at the ground? I always look at the front tire and I get dizzy as ****.
Think I'll try looking at the ground next time out.

i'm not afraid to gas it, except for when i get to the half-circle, the bike wants to high side so i chop the gas to bring it down quick without highsiding.

Re: **** circles

the bike is wanting to high side because you don't have the front wheel high enough ,drop in a little more like every one is saying and if the front end drops gas it ,once you get it you will be like these are the easiest circles ever...lol

Re: **** circles

lean it in farther and corect it with gas. if your not commiting like you should your gonna high side. just lean it in. dont be scared if you get in to far you can gas it. better than grabing brake and clutch and throwing a foot down.

Re: **** circles
