I dropped the bike doing a u turn last week with both feet on the pegs. Today I started dangling my foot on u turns and it felt more safe resulting in more confidence. PS I did this before seeing this article... so good timing. Also I used to do motocross in my teens and dangling the foot in most bends was necessary
@@jdelv86 100%. Having your foot dangling is akin to having your two fingers sitting over the front brake. Reassure and even less likely to happen due to increased confidence

Another solid recommendation for the dangle! Best wishes.
@@jdelv86 thank you. Been left with a sore wrist and back since dropping the bike. Regret trying to hold the bike up during fall. My mistake.
@@robertanderson2552 I can understand trying to “save” a bike, but the dangle & dab makes if less likely perhaps.

@@robertanderson2552 that’s a perfect analogy.
