trying circles

so, ive been doing the parkinglot stunting for only a lil under 2 months, ive got the slow stuff down where i can slow down as much as i want and im pretty smooth, can do short times with no throttle hand, scrape the bar when i want, and everyone once in a while get a nice coaster in. my sit downs ****, lol, but im learning. started trying circles, i can get it about half way around but i usually low side once i start getting it around, i think im just turning in too sharp and need to stay more on top of it once i get it turning... i guess this is the easy part, lol... i need to get some video up so you guys have something to laugh at some times i stall it (im only -1 +2) and when it comes down and im half off of it keeping it off the ground it starts back up and drags me off, that would make some great clips.

Re: trying circles

You have to keep the wuulie at a constant speed,, dont come in hailing *** and then slow down,, im going to bet your dipping it in,, and then seeing what its going to do,, then by the time you realise your going down its too late to give it gas to save it.. Dont be afraid to get on the gas,, just make it a smooth imput and you will be fine.. Look inside the circle and body positioning is very important as well.. Dont make the same mistake 1000 times,, if something is not working, try switch one thing up at a time and see if its getting better or worse. You will get it.. It took me like 3 months of doing 180 after 180,, 100 times a night untill i got my first circle.. I had no one to teach me or to watch do it,, so if anyone around is doing them go watch and listen to what it sounds like, and pay attention to how they shift their bodyweight..

Re: trying circles

I just started workin on them (actually working on them unlike before) last night. I was having a hard time looking into the circle....that helped a lot, keeping the nose up really helped a lot too...not great advice but it helps me.
