Default this happen to you before ?

so im riding down this street and i go to make a left on a major street. there are 2 lanes and im on the inner lane closest to on coming traffic. anyways so as im coming through i lean the into the the turn and i notice that my left foot scarped the ground and it kinda freaked me out9just the toe scetion). i wasnt sure if maybe i was leaning too much or i just have to big of feet (size 14) . so just curious if anybody else ever scrapes their feet when making a tight leaning turn

Make sure you have the ***** of your feet on the pegs and not your heels. I dont know if thats the problem but I see alot of people riding that way and causes toe scraping.

I ride with a lot of people that point their toes out and down... looks stupid and it's a good way to drag your foot in slow or fast turns and knock your foot off. Make sure you're keeping your foot tucked in close.

Just a random image I found... look at his feet.

HAHA you said *****....

DonCollins I sometimes ride with my toes out but only because I'm what do you call it duck footed? Where my toes point out naturally like my knees are fudged up or something. It's really bad when I'm snowboarding because I have my rear binding turned out even more than my front because my right foot does it more than my left. I think I'm just retarded or messed up or I don't know I guess I'm a freak of nature. No wonder chicks hate me.

thats a big *** foot ! haha ill have to pay more attention next time and see exactly how my feet are.. naturally im "bow legged" and my feet turn inwards plus i just had surgery on both my feet so riding has been interesting .. i might have been sticking my foot out more then usual so i could shift almost on top of my foot instead on top on my big toe(because thats where i had surgery done)
