sit downs are one of the harder O's to lock in... learn satnding, either staggered, foot on seat, fib, or ss... whatever is comfortable for you...

SS circles are easy, RLs = simple, FIB to right almost as easy as ss and rl....sit down circles are tough b/c they're nowhere near as easy to control as ss Os. I got 3 sitdowns Os to the right yesterday but it easily took me over 20 attempts to get em. It's like you can only enter the circle at the exact angle and exact speed or you **** it up.

correction no circle is easy but ss is the easiest circle.

Most people find sit downs the hardest, while SS and RL are the easiest.

Re: Learnin Circles - Sit downs or Stand ups? How did u learn ?

SS is easiest to learn by far. I'm working on footbrake circles now but killing footbrake **** is way more gangster IMO

its really a combination of both, for example 2 fingering the clutch and handbrake for SS o's, sometimes in order to continue some tricks it a little of working both to prevent stall or to much throttle. but this definitely take practise, but once you it get you almost do it with out think of doing it. @least for me it does. just my

Re: Learnin Circles - Sit downs or Stand ups? How did u learn ?

I am still real shitty at circles but practiced them towards the end of fall. My best results were from SS. Felt most comfortable and actually was able to do a couple. Staggered I kept highsiding and foot in seat hole or one foot on seat one on rear brake wasnt working for me either. and I didnt even attempt sitdowns. I can murder circles on my fiddy for days but its alot different on the big bike.
