Re: Circles...The painful battle
i worked on them hard last spring, got to the point where i could rock a 360, but i usually lost it after that.
that first circle was almost impossible for me, i highsided nothing shy of 1000 times. last time i tried one i got cocky and highsided and got stuck under the bike and got drove into the ground. it sucked. then after that i lost taste for it. they are hard.

Let that tail drop to the floor like a bad habit!
When I do coasters I imagine the bar taping the ground, and I go into a nice long smooth coaster. When I want to initiate a circle, I let that baby drop like I was gonna tap the edge on the pavement, it turns and if you just feather that brake you will get atleast a 360, then you need throttle input to complete another or else you loose momentum.
Im working on the throttle part, the idle 360 I got on lock atm.

Don't be afraid to use the gas and clutch (thanks, Teach!). You'll get 'em, just don't get discouraged. It took me about a year, 1 stator cover, 2 shifters, 1 cage, and 1 frame to figure them out, but once you get them, you'll feel like anything is possible.
