Re: circle question...
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.

Re: circle question...
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.

Re: circle question...
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.

Re: circle question...
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

Re: circle question...
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.

Re: circle question...
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
