ive been doing ss circles to the left im turning my front wheel to the left ive been told to turn my wheel the opposite way to keep my circles tighter and dipped in is that true or does it matter? also should i get my body tight to the bars for better circles?

 

theres a ton of threads out there that explain it prettl well but in regard to countersteering, i found its besst to keep the bars straight with the bike, so if it starts to fall in u can steer in or if it starts to highside u can countersteer to prevent that....keep ur knees bent and staying lower and bending ur inside knee will help

 

thanks man

 

This is good advice no one has told me this everyone always tells me what they think I'm doing wrong... Although I've been asking the wrong people How long have you been riding?

 

practice is all i can tell you...after you practice, if you still dont have them....go practice some more.... there is no good way to explain how to do circles...sry just isnt....one piece of advise i would give you tho...might save you from buying some bike parts is.... when you are starting to high side out of a circle, the best thing to do is pull in the clutch andcut the power from the back wheel:twosents

 

i 2nd that

 

Doesnt really matter bout where ur bars are. The only time i counter steer is if im runnin fast then fall into a circle... Use you weight to throw into it. more psi in ur tire the better it will turn....if it falls in gas.....falls out brake. Its just repitition...ull get it.

 

i am also having trouble with the ss i cant do handbreak circles period i can do fis and staggard but what the hell i am having trouble also i know the basics keep the wheel high and LOTS of gas but **** man i get .5-.75 of one and high side or low side i guess just keep doing untill one day "itll just click"

 

I turn bars to the right(for lefty's) especially on fast dip-ins. Some people do the oppisite,some dont even **** with the bars.

 

practice, practice, !!!!!!!!!!!!!. see you this weekend! and your circles look better everytime i see you.

 

i usually turn bars left and circle left, but i do turn bars right when going n/t hand...i dont know why...wierd..lol also the closer you tuck to the bike the tighter the circ will be, i cant do recons for the life of me but i can circle around a man hole cove....even wierder...idk

 

I am still having trouble with the ss just cant do it i dont know why it is pretty stupid

 

when you stand ss turn your toes pointing out towards the outside of the tail...pigeon toed?? not sure...turned out lol... i used to have them straight forward and toes on f/seat and heels on rear...now no toes on front seat at all ...toes pointed out and it is soooooooooo much better...try it!!

 

my ss O;s are slower, less gas more idle. any circ useing foot brake for me is fast, bliping the gas constantly, and probably somewhat resembles a siezure on a motorcycle....lol what u runnin for an h/b??

 

yeah I actually learned recons recently,definatly a different technique than circles,learned um in RL and now I can do them in most positions

 

This **** is right on!! after someone told me, I could feel myself putting all my weight on my one side high sideing out of the circle. after corrected a quick blip will bring you around then its off to the races

 

will you sale me some of your recons tanus??? giva ya a dollar....

 

dont worry i cant even get the damn bike to dip for me!!!!

 

Bring the front end a little higher then and come in on the over run !!!

 

doesnt look like u have lean isssues....
ok whats a recon??? i mean im sure i know the trick but ive probably heard it called something else
