Monthly Riding Tip
	Riding on the Balls of the Feet I am really surprised how many people are interested about the technique of riding on the balls of the feet or riding on the arches. I'll tell you right up front that being comfortable riding on the balls of the feet takes a lot of practice. But when a rider does become comfortable with this technique there are three benefits to it. # 1 you have more body travel, #2 you won't hit the shifter or rear brake by accident and #3 you won't get your feet ripped off the foot pegs from your toe hitting the dirt. As I said, for this technique to become natural its takes a lot of the correct type of practice. So don't throw it out the window if it feels awkward at first. It's kind of like down hill skiing. It's easier to keep your feet farther apart when you are a beginner but the pros keep their skis closer together. One place motocross pros are always on the balls of their feet is through the whoops. If it can be done through the whoops it can be done anywhere on the track. The only acceptation is if you're going to land hard from a jump or even case a jump. In this case you would want to be on the arches of your feet so you don't sprain your ankles. Just make sure you have your toes pointed out a little so you don't hit the shifter or rear brake by accident. It all comes with knowing the correct techniques and a lot of quality practice time. For all the correct techniques in an affordable easy to understand format check out my Motocross Practice Manual on the DVD ordering page of my website.
