Hey Guys,
Got my first trackday in a while coming up and looking to improve my riding big time by testing myself on better body positioning.
The last month or so I have been thinking a lot about my body position before, during, after corners as everyone should. But lately thinking a lot about what my feet are doing.
SO, for a long time now I am most comfortable with my feet right up on the pegs so that I am on the balls of my feet wether im just cruising around or going through the twisties. Although, sometimes I feel that this makes my knee's come up on the tank maybe too far?
Couple of questions:
- On the balls of my feet. Is this a good position/technique to use in general?
- Should your foot position change depending on the part of the corner you are in? For example, before the corner should I have my foot in the middle of the peg to help push back whilst braking & then transfer to the balls of my feet to enter the corner?
- What position should your outside foot be in during a corner? eg On the ball of your feet, on the heal or in the middle?
Thanks for the help

EDIT:
Made a poll to see what the majority of people are doing.
I think this is covered in Keith Code Twist of the wrist (I should really buy these already!) lol
