[QUOTE="Plushpuppy, post: 10719, member: 348"] I ride with the pegs just behind the balls of my feet(so I'm almost riding ON MY BALLS bahahaha!), but it's not my arches. If I need to shift or brake I take the foot off the peg and use it. If I'm braking I keep my right leg firmly up against the bike while I use the brake, this makes my foot easier to control the brake, and not jerky. It's good to be able to ride standing on one foot--if you lose a foot getting it knocked off you dont' panic, and your balance gets better too. I also turn my toes in just a little, this makes my knees go firmer into the sides if there's a sudden launch n land, or sudden slow down kid of thing--my knees dont' slide along the bike and then the bars end up in my lap kind of thing(owowow). But I'm not doing brake slides around (most) turns either. But that sure is handy for downhill switchbacks(learning!) [/QUOTE]
