Re: My friend learning circles last night - video...

He is definetly using too much brake. You can see how he gets to idle then the bike drops and he has to gas it to get back into it. When he starts to turn he is still too hard on the brake. You can see the rim stop then go. Its should just be smooth all the way around.

he has some nerve damage on his left hand from an accident a few years back and has not been able to cover the clutch lever once he is up. I told him that repeatedly yesterday but when he concentrates on covering the clutch he cant concentrate on the circle. His multitasking is still in Windows 95 mode...

Yeah, just come in faster and lean more into the circle. When it swings around and slows down, lean out.

have one finger constantly at all times on the clutch......its hard to explain..the best advice is to just go play wiht it...feather it..and see what it does to help you keep circling....just "slip the clutch..like when the bike bogs down..and feels like its gona die..slip the cluth to regain your rpms.....thus...keeping the circle going..then once you learn it a little bit..you cna start working on stlaling out of a circle
