my question is on body pos... take a look at my pic. am i leaning to far back should i be closer to the clip ons? i can get one and a half circles consistant but nothing more any input and crituque would be great!

Only advice I have is wear a helmet...

It's one thing to do a photo shoot on a trick you have on lock... But learning new **** without a helmet? Are you suicidal? Have nothing to live for? Or do you just not give a ****?




/hate

you know how ******* stupid you look wearing gloves with no helmet?
"omg i might scratch my hands up, better protect them!"
put a ******* helmet on, or at least lose the gloves.

Towlieee

On a real note, looks like your leaning your body into the circle too much

Work on moving your body to the outside, with the bike on the inside... That way if **** goes wrong you can throw your body to the inside to save it from high siding

Heres a pic of my circle staggard, I guess I also am a little on the inside of the circle


And another pic of a foot on seat circle

sorry that first post WAS hate. But All I can do is yell and scream at my friends that chose not to wear a helmet.

Unless you are the baddest mother ****** in the world, you have NO reason not to wear a helmet. Because theres are hundreds of riders better then you, and they ALLLLL wear a helmet. But the idiots that can't do **** chose NOT to wear a helmet to look cool. It's just ******* stupid IMO.



re-edit: heres a staggard pic of my own to see my posisitioning

In that posisition I can hold circles 5+ times

side not from what towliee said, there are some guys that have mad skill and to them that have been doing it for a long *** time that got it on lock and don't wear a helmet..ok. in my eyes all the skill in the world it just takes one little **** up even at 15mph and you can really **** you self up.

and the pic was taken for a bar in my area they wanted the pic with no lid so people can see who rides for there bar.. that pic wasn't used due to the goofy face i made lol here is a pic on my old f4i...

Ya the your left leg should be sraight and bend your right nee this will bring you closer to the bike but also bring you around to the right side of the bike and then just push the bike down into the circle.

You may wana try foot in or on top the rear seat it helps.

Towlieee

Right on man, I just REALLY hate to see people learning wihtout a helmet
I pop my helmet off all the time to show off, but I definitely don't take it off for anything I don't have on lock

I'd just hate to see someone get fucked up for something stupid!

Staggards are HARD AS ****... The easiest position for me personally is right foot on brake, left foot in between the front and passenger sear

for sure man no worries

DIRTYJEFF636s

i really need to start practicing the hb

i havn't tried foot on seat in a while, i think i'll try that before ss, in the beginning it went to the right right when i brought it up, but that's a while ago.

120clown

i think thats going to be the plan for tomorow foot in seat. if it doesnt rain ill have new pics to share!

DIRTYJEFF636s

good luck

120clown

thank ya thank ya..

its that or seat stander circles..

DIRTYJEFF636s

i'm not to that part yet, but i'll prob try ss circles first. that's me

Towlieee

Everyone learns there own way, but for me, foot IN seat was the hardest for me..

putting my foot where I did in my pics, is the easisest by far for me, and I learned staggard


SS's took a lil while for me, because I coudln't control the hand brake as good as my foot brake
and not because I'm new to a hand brake, I rode a hand brake on my 50 for AGES..... I just wasn't "smooth" on the hand brake..
I could rock no throttle hand on foot brake AGES before I could rock NTH on my hand brake

But everyones learning style and learning curve is WAY different.... Hell I learned doing 5+ circles in 1 parknig space.. Where others learn doing SS's in 30 foot wide circles

+9198484 i get as much help as i can from here and friends and from there goes what feels better. it's weird tho because the things the feel weird feel right after awhile (that sounded sooo wrong )

120clown

that did sound quite disterbing you sicko

DIRTYJEFF636s

i re-read that and it sounds even worse

NatBrnStunter

I think that a picture of a staggered circle wouldn't show much skill to a bunch a bar rats... You should have given em the pic in your avatar.... That **** is way better than a circle pic... Just my

turn your wheel to the right when doing circles to the left, you'd be amazed.
