Hello everyone,
I would like to learn heel & toe downshifts on my NB. To people who are doing nice heel & toe downshifts in their NBs, I am wondering how you all feel about the placement of the pedals. Have you done any modifying, or do you find they are in a good place?
Yesterday I experimented for a few minutes and found
- Using my right foot in a different way (and different place), my sense of where the edges of each pedal are in relation to my foot, is pretty vague.
- There are foot positions on the brake pedal that will allow me to reach and blip the gas pedal, but they feel weird. But I'm not sure if it's a "normal" kind of weird that I just need to get used to, or if I should considering bending one of the pedals or something.
In searching for a new position closer to the edge of the brake pedal, I no longer feel very confident in either the brake or the blip at the moment. But my goal right now is to find a position that is technically sound, then I figure the rest will come with practice.
Any advice appreciated.
Eric
