circle wheelie direction

when riding a staggered wheelie left foot on rear left peg and right covering rear brake is it easier to go to the left or right i just watched a couple videos and it seems like everyone goes to the left when they do them like that and i only feel comfortable going to the right whenever i try to lean my bike to the right in that position i am usually unsuccessful and when i do get it to lean it only does it for not even a 1/4 turn before it straightens up and wants to throw me off.

its easier to do the first 1/4 turn going right which is why alot of ppl start out going that way. it takes a bit more commitment to turn it left but going left, once learned, is the better way to go. i have found in my experience that ppl trying to circle right, will spend alot more time doing recon circles than real circles compared to ppl going to the left. but everyone learns a little different so just commit to learning one way and keep at it.

+1 what I noticed, on people doing right hand recons and calling them circles

I learned left, but thats just how I learned on my 50... Now I'm stuck on left, I do right hand recons about 20 foot wide and tight left hands

Re: circle wheelie direction

I ended up learning to the right, pushin the right peg n pushin the brake turnin right. Trying left now can occasionally get 1. push the bike back in the circle and let some pressure off your left leg when it starts to high side ya.
