Eyes On The Prize !!! ???
Ive been praticing every singal day now, for the last two weeks. And I cant seem to grasp the circles. I am using my scooter so there is no clutch, but i can still get it up from a stand still draggin one foot..
I am draggin my left foot and sitting down, and turning into my left foot, so doing circles counterclock wise...
I tried today to put my eyes in differnt places to help turn, but it doesnt seem to work, i tried everything, but still i get to sharp and the bike falls, or I get to wide and I almost fall over....
Its so funny, because soemthing If I put my eyes in one place, it worked sickkkkk111, but id come back to it 5 mins later and it would ****...
Is there a certain place The eyes should be looking?

Re: Eyes On The Prize !!! ???
if you really want advice, here is the basics.
slow down=bike falls in
speed up=bike falls out
lean out=bike falls in
lean in=bike falls out
the leaning depends are where you are at as far as balance, and your tire pressure, but that's the basics.

Don't ride every day, if so take a day or two off from circles and so you don't burn yourself out. Work on something else, and come back to it. Your muscle memory needs a break to recover, kind of like your muscles need recovery time from working out etc.
