Seems like everyones too cool to rock staggered these days. Anyone got any videos of staggered circles (to the left would be cool). Im trying to get em, but it seems always at the halfway point i start to highside, tap the brake, and then at that point the front end dips down too much, and its all over.
Looking for some vids so i can see body posture.

I love staggard circles. One of the coolest circles other than sitdowns.

eh im just learning them... but staggered is how i start just about everything else, so i figured id try circles like that...although im seeing alot more ppl that are learning, do foot-in-bar, or foot-in-seat circles.
I do staggard or foot on the rear seat. Not in it..

what your doing wrong is .......................not riding more...lol
if you are getting half way and highsiding then you need to keep th rear tire tucked under yoyu more and yes lean th ebike in more ,but if you are getting half way then just keep trying and you will get it....
there are some staggered in this clip

did a little practice... seemed like every 3rd one or so was 3/4 of the way around. Got over my highside problem, but now at 3/4 i start lowsiding....... Heres my technique..
3500rpm idle, 15psi rear tire. Pick it up, get on idle, transfer weight onto left foot, slip the clutch, a brake tap here or there... at about 1/4, and 1/2 i notice it dipping a little so i give it a lil braap. .. around 3/4 it drops fast, and dont even have a chance to give it a little....

no need to slip the clutch unless you are high siding
and you are low siding because you are not keeping the front wheel high enough ....
sounds like you are making progress though ...keep it up [pun intended lol]
