I am curious to see what most of you are doing with your feet when riding dirty. I think I may be doing it all wrong. My freinds/ riding buddies are unanimously telling me to hook my heel on the pegs when I ride. They say no one rides on the balls of there feet. One friend specifically looked through a dirtbike magazine and showed me I'd say at least 75% of the riders were hooked on to the peg. I was told this is to keep the rear brake covered at all times. Here is where I have an issue. I naturally was riding on the balls of my feet. I got a few books once I bought a off road riding books and both specifically said to ride on the balls of your feet and move your feet to brake or shift.
You guys have been doing it for a while, especially coming from street riding must have gone through this before. Do you ride on your toes or cupped in your heel. I can't bring myself to switch to riding in the heel so easily. I've tried and it feels a bit unnatural. I assume it just takes some getting used to but I don't want to learn the wrong technique.
