So this past monday lorenzo and i were out and it happened to me about 3 times. So at that point i realized i need to put my toes on the pegs and ride into turns.

It took a while to get use to but i think i got it down. But my question is proper riding style with your toes on the pegs? Or should i be looking at getting new rear sets?

How do you guys ride hard into turns on the street or the track?
I ride with the toes of my feet on the pegs and my heels tucked in towards the rearsets. It's not very comfortable, but it prevents me from accidentally dragging my shoe.

Question...do you still have your peg feelers on? If so, take them off ASAP. You really don't need them and if you happen to catch it while leaned over you'll loop it.
