\r\n \r\n Why go left? My FIS circle attempts (foot brake) all go Right. I think about attempting going left and its a joke lol.
\n
\nMy SS have a tendancy to want to go left though. But ive yet to get a half ass\'d rotation using my HB. Which i actually gave up on using this season for circle learning ive gone all foot brake and FIS.... turning right lol.
\n
\nIm JUST starting to get my bike to start doing tight"er" circles. I usually do a few wider ones ( 15 ft radius ish) then start to turn them tighter and spiral into a tight one. or two.
\n
\nWhat i found out was i use to much brake. just tap\'s and dont drag it. I was dragging mine till i started conciously thinking about not doing it. Turn up your idle to compensate for having to use alot more gas (this helped me) And also get that bitch higher then you think you even should be and thats where it will dip. Keeping it up that high seems to be the key.
\n
\nIm basically learning these all on my own and getting shown up by a rookie thats done nothing but circle attempts all season. Everyone learns differently so only tips can help you.
\n
\nThanks to this thread i may have found the final missing link to doing these. My body positioning is terrible. I lean like a mofo into my turns. I gotta start staying centered and bring the bars into my chest more. I knew my body position was off a long time ago. But i also wasnt turning them like i am now. So now maybe if i correct my body position and add everything ive learned with them the last 3 months. I might start turning respectable tight circles lol.\r\n
