Bend your knee to the way you want the bike to turn, and look where you want it to go. The bike will go to the way your head is turned. Down, tilted to the left

GOOD ADVICE........Your body and your bike will move right over if you just bend your knee and look in that direction.

sounds easier than it is.

i can get mine to turn, here's my problem, somewhere between the 90 and 180 position, the bike stops leaning in and wants to highside....no matter how hard i lean teh bike, it tries to highside.

i know what you mean, i can get mine to pivot like its gonna circle, and it starts to turn, but then it angles back the other way. Gotta work on it.

As for NTH's and NH's learn them with your foot in the bar or foot in the trunk. I tried learning them with my left foot in the back peg and its much harder.

Re: how to turn in a slow wheely

when i put my foot on the bar, it wants to "dance", when i put my foot in the trunk, it feels better but its like learning all over again...

Re: how to turn in a slow wheely

you gotta get on the brake to prevent the highside...if you are falling into the circle, you need more gas, if you are falling out of the circle, you need more brake.

as for the foot in the bar...it is easier bc it takes the weight off of your hands...you dont have to let go at first, just try and loosen up your grip and eventually let go when you have control and have learned to balance your own weight, it will be easy once you figure out how to hang on without hanging on!
