Left Circles Vs. Right Circles
Why do left handed circles seem to be the standard. Any opinions on why some say they are better. Most of the pros do left circles so there has to be some kinda reason? Right ones can be done just as tight so what is it?

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles
Just by thinking of doin RH circles!!!!, I think left are easier, it's somehow natural (maybe for righthanded people), and RH circles seem unnatural, I can't explain it better...
I can't do 'em but I think I soon will be, it's just my opinion...

ditto.
some people say RH are easier, but usually those people are just riding around in the idle in wide cirlces...and a 10 foot radius is wide. there is a difference btwn riding around in a cirlce and doing a circle.

Re: Left Circles Vs. Right Circles
I was having the same problem...it felt easier for mw to go to the right than the left...still haven't quite figured it out, but after talking to a few people I'm just gonna try going to the left....to bad it's almost the end of the season up in Maine.

When you hang off the right side to turn right, that doesnt count as a circle. Thats an oval, and everybodys got nth ovals all day. Thats too easy.
