rolling donuts

I can get almost to a 180 and it grips and I have to put my foot down. Whats the best way to do a rolling donut?

Re: rolling donuts

This is my problem too....i get rolling and start to turn then lose it.
Some guy told me the turning is all in the pegs and shifting weight from peg to peg to go left or right. Also to feather the front brake to keep even speed.

Its basically a combination of a balance between, throttle and brake control, weight distribution on the bike and body balance. You have to balance it out right or it will just slip out from under you...
