Im learnin at around 35ish. Works good for me with the dip. Everyone here says im doing good with the dip in I just gotta learn to dance and timing the blip.
\n
\nOh and as for dipping to the left. I start the initial dip by pullin on the right handlebar. Just like countersteering into a turn. That puts me pretty much right where I need to be without really having to lean much.\r\n

Cool dude... I\'ll give it a shot this afternoon. Gotta make sure to get tire pressure up! I think I\'m still on 20psi. One thing that helped me on the 50 was turning the bars opposite of the direction you\'re turning. Probably causing myself to pull on the opposite bar anyway.\r\n

that can kick you into a circle easily, however this works best in a position like foot in seat because the bike needs to be way leaned and your weight over the side of the bike (watch some teach vids and youll see what i mean) otherwise you are far more susceptible to high sides once yu do the initial 180 b/c the bike still has a lot of inertia forward\r\n

\r\n \r\n First circle is what not to do. You can see im really forcing the circe by leaning super far out which eventually causes me to highside. My better ones are when I stay centered over the bike.

\r\n \r\n I get really really bad tire vision too which is annoying. Like evan said look where you want to go not at the tire. Had this habit since I started and its hard to break but it will make straight and circles much smoother.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Thanks so much for all of the videos and pics! That stuff helps a ton since I don\'t have anyone to ride with down here.

\nI went out to practice last night and got a couple good rotations and really started to \'feel\' how the throttle affects the circle.
\n
\nAfter awhile I couldn\'t even catch idle and realized later that night that the 2nd idle cable had backed out while I was wiring my headlight (it\'s zip tied to the harness I was working on). I was only holding about 2000 rpm tryin to catch idle.\r\n
