Re: Circles
honestly if youre already pretty decent with the handbrake. learn ss circles. i learned staggerd and then foot on seat and have dabbled with sitdowns but like 3 weeks ago i started doing ss circles and once u get over the fear of highsiding its the easiest **** ever. and it helps with all the other circles. keep your clutch covered and anytime u start highsiding pull it in and you should be all good. you have soo much control over the bike on the seat its rediculous.

i love Seat standers....i can quick U turns but i got the fear of a highside or stalling it on the seat probably gets nasty....so when i am about to highside pull the clutch in and wrestle the bike down...

Re: Circles
my best advice for these. keep your nose high, come in on the brake and push the bike to the left keeping most of pressure on your left foot as it dips in left off the brake and let the idle take it as you straighten your body back out like centering yourself with the bike. from there its gonna be adjusting your body/throttle/brake with the circle. if you come highsiding pull the clutch in and you will either just drop if your nose was low or if your nose was high it will spin you up into a stall and then you can try to clutch back in to the circle. if you keep the nose up there you wont start gettin crazy and going fast and highsiding real hard. keep knees bent too. thats all i got.
