[QUOTE="slo' mo, post: 89265, member: 18325"] I'm not much of a serious rider, I ride for the fun. I have been working the past several weeks trying to change my body back into a respectable shape and that's got me to thinking about changing my riding objectives to possibly include some races in the future. What I find is that when I start pushing myself I have difficulty maintaining my foot position, especially on the right peg. When I am getting tired and still trying to make respectable speed on the turns I find that I am dragging the brake and not really even knowing it. I try adjusting to the balls of my feet which allows me to grip the bike better with my legs and also helps me on the jumps but then I actually have a hard time getting to the back brake fast enough. I use the front brake a lot entering the turns, which may not be the right way either. that sort of makes this a two-fold question... 1) is it easier for you to ride on the balls of your feet or arches? 2) better to use the back brake or front brake for corners? AND YES, I know, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE:( [/QUOTE]
