That's where you step down to the left peg with your right foot, and hang your left off correct? Sorry I'm not much in tune, we just do our own thing here now and teach ourselves. But anyways -- I start in a SS, and then step down but the moment my weight is on that side of the bike it wants to circle.
While that'd be nice i'm not quite ready, I'd rather just steer it around in a wide circle getting comfortable with that while in the position. Any advice? I'm running 32 pounds of pressure, and just bumped it up to that when I had been previously riding on rim... trying to step up my riding haha.
Thanks in advance for the tips.

Re: Ralph Louies
whenever your weights all on one side of the bike, its gonna want to circle. you can lean way in over the tank to keep it straighter, or just go faster so the bike wont fall in.

What's a good idle to be trying all these tricks at? Like the more technical tricks, like Froggers, Dragging your knee on the ground in a SS, etc... I can do em it's just it's not as smooth as I'd like, and I know that comes with time and skill but just wondering maybe my idle is too high? I run 4K and run a 60 tooth.

Re: Ralph Louies
Why? my impression was the higher the idle, the less gas and more break -- shouldn't you be able to jump into frog and never have to blip the throttle. That's what I thought, I'm close but I always **** up with too much brake and HAVE to blip the throttle. Trying to get to the point where it's almost all handbrake.... I'm running the throttle mod, and that's what controls my idle btw.

Re: Ralph Louies
wow. 4krpms?? you should try lowering that down man. i was struglin for a while and it was due to my high idle. homie jumped on my bike and turned it down one day, i got back on and **** was like butta. you can still ride idle with a low idle. gotta fight the brake too much in a circle with a high idle. lower that **** and learn to use the gas when needed.
your idle doesnt really matter for dragging knee from SS cuz unless your 7 feet tall the only way your getting down there is by coasting back beyond bp and workin that hb.
anytime you jump to frog/spreader/HC your gonna have to blip the throttle. just as mikeM stated above. good luck kelminator.

Re: Ralph Louies
my idle is always set between 3 and 3500
when i learned them i had the same problem. to me it felt like i had to push the bike away from me or it would circle, i dont think i leaned onto the bike too much. then again im fat and different techniques will help different people
.. just keep practicing you will get it
