\r\n \r\n The trick is that at some point you are going to have to hit the gas again, and the even bigger trick is that your going to have to do it at a point in the circle where it feels like you are going to crash if you give it more gas... This is especially true if you are squashing out all the momentum of the circle with the rear brake like most people do.
\n
\nNow there is the very small possibility that you will figure out idle circles without having to give it gas but that is unlikely, especially considering the fact that you are learning staggered circles.
\n
\nMy advice is... Forget staggered circles and learn SS circles to the left.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I\'m gonna get back out there today, everyday as always and keep at it. The thing that is happening for me is I\'m at bp, give it gas and it goes behind bp and wants to highside. I just don\'t get how I\'m supposed to keep it wanting to lean in like that.I\'m not afraid to gas it, infact I get through more of a circle when I don\'t gas it. Maybe I\'m goin into the circle too slow for the angle I\'m trying to achieve?\r\n

\r\n \r\n I dont know too much as Im still learning but it sounds as if you might be leaning too far out of the circle
? Im just going off my experience. Because I can lean out left going left and do half or 3/4 of a circle but if i dont tuck into the bike(lean back right/stay centered) then I just highside. \n
\nAnd like everyone else said gotta blip it. And SS left is gunna be much easier to learn then staggard. Even FIS left is going to be easier and less hard on your arms.
\n
\nI still suck at these and my circle whoollies is garbaggee. Just going off my experience.\r\n

highsiding for me i noticed is when i come in tall and let the wheelie go down a little to far and then i give it too much gas cuaising the bike to stand tall and spit me off. if your a a consisten level the highsiding shouldnt be an issue unless its your body postition that is fucked up\r\n

\r\n \r\n im with joker on this, ss all the way, it lets you stand up rather than forcing you to lean back, so you have a better perspective of where you are in relation to bp and plain old lets you see better, but dont get in the habit of leaning into the circle with your body rather than your bike, try to stay in line. i dont know about anyone else, but out of high side fear i wouldnt keep it behind bp and then by the second loop i would start chasing the circle ironically causing the occasional highside. so go in as slow as possible and initialize the circle behind bp\r\n

\r\n \r\n i agree with ss
\n
\nimproper form. leaning like crazy and not keeping the wheelie high enough
\n
\n
\n
\ncorrect form
\n
\nim looking to where i wanna go nice and high straight up and down and letting the bike do the work

\r\n \r\n did anyone else here learn on 40 psi? initial dip was never a problem when i learned, so maybe try that?\r\n
