Tighten up bitches...
Im bored, so i thought i'd start a thread for a little discussion... topic: circles (believe me there is 80 other areas that need discussed and some tightening up on in the stunt community, but this was on my mind)
Been watching a lot of vids and got to thinking... by now everyone can combo circle, or can learn fairly quickly... but ive been noticing something, especially of the younger/newer guys... circles are getting wider and wider... and not in a good way (fast wide leaned O's need not apply to this discussion)
im talking combo O's... it seems a lot of people are claiming all these combos and stuff... but if you are rocking a circle with the diameter of a car, around 8 feet wide... how hard is it??? remember when everyone was learning O's and we told people doing recon-missions around the lot that it wasnt O's... well, same principle... if you are going 8-10 feet wide, its not really "O" combos, it's recon-combos...
I guess what im saying is Tighten up bitches... it looks better and is WAY harder, i wanna see pirouettes!!!

Re: Tighten up bitches...
I dont like em super tight.
I like em 8 feet with a lot of lean. The more angle the better.
I also am a fan of throttle intensive circles. idle = smooth and boring
