Re: quickie about O's
whenever I see video of people learning O's they all seem to lean to the inside to initiate the circle and I believe, if im not mistaken, that this actually makes you fight the bike more physically rather than just ride with the bike. When I saw your video cjoe and even in your avatar it looks to me like your body positioning is off just a tad.. I could be wrong just a thought maybe someone who is better than I could chime in on this.. Ive always heard stay in line with the bike dont lean to the outside or inside, and dont lean to turn at all use your upper body. anyway tryin to help and learn myself.

Re: quickie about O's
SDfkillz is right about putting my body inside of the circle and it un intentionally happens, but I've been workin at staying more over the bike and upright. If I go and try to push on my inside foot when standing tall and close to the bike i end up standing on the brake lever. Might actually have to try the same stance but with HB instead of FB to see if that helps with form.
The inside foot is also higher and more foward(frnt peg) outside on the passenger- or bar/seat.

Re: quickie about O's
idle is def all preference. sometimes i ride with my idle as low as 2200 and someimtes ill crank it up to 4 just for fun. its all in what feels good to you, theres no right or wrong on it. for learning purposes you need to have it adjusted so its not making you rape your brake so much that your bogging and stalling out, or the other end where youre circling on mostly throttle. find the medium to make it smooth so you can better feel what youre doing.
