Keep em coming guys and gals! Lots of good input here. What it really boils down to is, I need practive. The toe on the brake and heal on the gas "seems" more logical to me but I've just got to find the leg position that makes it work.

Thanks!

i actually have the easiest time doing this barefoot. if i'm barefoot i can do the actual "heel/toe". if i'm wearing shoes i end up pressing the brake with the left side of my foot and gas with the right. it definitely doesnt feel as natural to me and it isnt as smooth.

what I find works best is braking with the ball of your foot, and rolling the side of your foot over to the gas.

Get something like these.


Some peeps in the PacNorWest have bent the gas to the left, closer to the brake.
