Exclamation The Real Circle Wheelie Checklist

OK... im tired of trying FIB circles i cant get more than 1/2 somtimes 3/4 circle, and those arent nice tight ones... I think it would be nice that people who got them on lock give the others some kind of CHECKLIST (for FIB) to follow so things get easier

-aproach at XXXXX speed
-when the bike does xxxxxxx thing....lean into (explain how to lean into
-if the bike falls into the circle recover doing this
-if the bikes tends to highside recover doing this

thats the basic... stuff floating in my mind... aditional data is welcome...

Re: The Real Circle Wheelie Checklist

Try to stay on top of the bike, gas = higher too much and you highside......brake = greater lean angle.

Re: The Real Circle Wheelie Checklist

It's nothing you can learn by reading

Just gotta go out and do it, eventually it'll click.



Personally I still can't do FIB circles.. Then again, I don't really try them often

Re: The Real Circle Wheelie Checklist

FIB circles are by far the easist to do......just keep on trying them.....over and over and over and over and over, some people catch circles in a session, some people like me, it took a year and they are still not perfect..

Re: The Real Circle Wheelie Checklist

staggard O's are my ****. Most of the people i ride with cannot even do them. they learned seat standers and never tried staggard. Def my most comfortable circle is staggard. Took me over a year to get consistent with them. Practice and seat time is your best freind

Re: The Real Circle Wheelie Checklist

fib seems to be the easiest to cut in for me. I went out a whole day and tried staggered, but could not get it to cut in at all. Havent really tried SS, but ralph louies are getting easier. Circles are definitely a bitch to learn



oh yeah as for advice, I spent a whole week looking up info. The only real helpful advice I got was to keep practicing lol. That and bump up tire pressure to at least 22 psi, work on coasters to help you with clutch control, and steer with the handlebars better...

I was thinkin about when I start to drop the front wheel and come out of the circle, I gas it to bring it back up and dip in


then again, I reall dont know what im talking about

I've only recently learned circles, and I can ONLY do staggard, and I can only do 2-3 MOST the time, with like 8 being my record



edit: I can't even beign to turn Foot in seat though! lol..
