[QUOTE="CDA, post: 10723, member: 103"] +1 on what Plushpuppy said. You should not ride flat footed but you do not want to be too far up on the balls of your feet. If you ride too flat footed you can get ankle injuries when hitting big G outs or ruts because your foot can pivot too much. Since I have boats for feet, I can reach the break and shifter fine in this position, but if you have smaller feet you will need to shift you foot forward if you are applying a little rear break when hammering through a long whoop sections. Having the pegs just behind the balls of your feet will help the desert guys rotate up over the tank and bars for the high speed open areas. You can get up and rest your thighs against the bars and it will take some pressure off the legs for a rest period. [/QUOTE]
