I've read a few circle threads already and picked up some awesome advice but the one thing I am confused on is initially dipping into the circle.
I'm doing staggered passenger peg wheelies right now. I bring the bike up, catch idle, and the bike starts turning when I really put pressure on the left peg. I can usually get around about half turn but at that point the bike really wants to high side.
I think my initial dip into the circle is the problem. Do I need to bring the front end down below bp and start leaning the bike in? Right now, it seems like I'm just "falling" into the circle while holding idle.
My body is inline with the bike the entire time, Left leg locked for the most part and trying to keep a somewhat neutral grip on the bars. I do notice myself sort of crouching/hunching down slightly. Should I try to be standing up and "over" the bike?
Unfortunately, I'm the only rider around here and don't have anyone to come out and watch to keep my body positioning in check. I will probably grab a gopro soon so I can at the least post helmet cam stuff to get critiqued on SR.
Still running stock clip ons at stock angle. It does feel like I have less influence on the bike bein all tucked in.
