    I have been riding for a week and some now and I pretty much have the
    hang of riding around...in left circles. I can go and go and go...left.
    For the last two days now I have been trying to figure out how to go
    right. I can only seem to be able to jerk myself that direction, but
    just like that I couterbalance and am going straight after all that
    motion. Maybe I am just missing how I should be sitting or moving my
    hips. Are there any instrucional vids on how to turn? Or, for that
    matter any pointers in order to alleviate this whole turning only one
    direction thing. I can turn left on a dime, but right I just cant seem
    to do. What gives. 🙁

    This is how I learned to turn, and helped people learn to turn.

    Take the opposite arm, your left arm, and point to the right, or your
    right arm and point to the left...

    That worked for me at least.

    just do what was told to me. Find a windy path and ride down. You will
    learn to turn, or end up in the grass. I've just recently learned how
    to ride in the grass and over roots and stuff. Getting better as each
    day passes.

    Just ride down a windy path with lots and lots of turns. You will get
    it.
