Well a rolling burnout is not that hard. It seems hard when you're learning cause it takes a while to find that sweet spot where you have enough revs and just enough brakes to make the rear start to spin. It's also a little awkward keeping your body so far forward on the bike.

I tell you though, once you get it the first time... Say goodbye to your tires. You'll be able to do it over and over and over again and you probably won't want to stop. It's just a matter of getting it to break loose the first time. Once you pop that cherry you'll bustin' them out a lot

As far as circles go... Well that gets a little hairy. Well it did for me anyway. In learning circles and rolling burnouts I've already put my bike down 5-6 times and a couple times I landed on my head. I really haven't been learning them that long either. Not trying to discourage you, I'm just saying be prepared to put her down a couple times and wear your gear.

Learn the rolling ones first. Then steer it a little. Then go for the circle. One step at a time... Many tires at a time.

Thanks for the insight. I can't wait to go out and practice. It doesn't look that hard. I've seen quite a few one done pretty nicely, and of course they make it look easy. Im sure its cause they have done it a few times. I can sit on the bike and burnout all day. Thats childsplay. I only tried about twice to let off the brake a little and get the bike moving forward while the tire is spinning. The first time with no luck, and the second time I got like a cresent moon shape, about 4-5 ft. long. I thought it was an accomplishment for me . When i did that, i accually wasn't putting my all into cuase i like to conserve my tires and my wallet. Thanks for the help.
