i suck bad at them anyone from fla can vouch for that...like i never hit more than 2, cept once i hit 5 in fla...but last night i went out to pract and i figured sumthing out and im hitting 4+ alot more now, and they feel more comfy.
i go to the left and i wud always turn my bars to the right, kind of counter steering in, but then when it wud start to highside i cudnt turn the bars any more and it wud jsut idle right out...so now going to the left i turn the bars left, and when it starts to highside i turn em to the right and that gives me leverage to push it back down into the circle and bam i do more.....it just sort of clicked...i kno ur tryin to learn em and this helped me alot..good luck

cuz if ur front wheel is still spinning, turning the bars makes the bike lean in or out

sounds like sumone i kno
nick call anthony if u dont believe me....maybe a circle jerk video by sat
the front wheel is not spinning mike, its not the turning of the bars that affects teh bike, but when u turn em it changes ur body position to push the bike back down into the circle...if they were already turned to the right like i was doin before when i wud start to highside and need to correct it wud be to late, there was no adjustment left

ive been tryin to do them without a handbrake.... its a motherfucker. best i have done is two. the worst is a half of one which highsided to hard to save and bent my cage all the way to the case cover.lol all i want is to be able to get 3 consistantly, but it would probably be more work than its worth.

I was working on flamingos today the same way. Do the first circle or 2 with both feet on the seat, then take the right one off. As your taking moving your foot back, give it a little more brake and let the front wheel go forward a few inches. Flamingos balance lower than regular seat standers so you gotta take that into account while youre circling.
