After getting over the initial weird feeling of rotating your foot at such an angle, I thought I'd give it a proper go.

Few questions though...

You put your toe on the brake pedal, rotate your foot to an almost 90º angle and put your heel on the loud pedal?

Do you blip the throttle or keep your foot lightly pressed to maintain the revs before lifting the clutch up?

Bit tricky to start off with, but I'm sure I'll get there in the end.

Cheers.
 
Cheers for the help guys.

I have quite small feet (with comically large trainers I might add :p) but can't seem to get the hang of it... although I did only start trying it last night.

I can't seem to pivot my foot so that I can blip the throttle while keeping the brakes applied at the same pressure. My foot either lifts off the brakes slightly as I blip, or my foot rests on the throttle which makes the revs fly up :o

Once or twice I've also forgotten to press the clutch at the same time :rolleyes:
 
Even though I've not replied in a while, just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm not ignoring the replies :)

I've read and taken in every post that's been made.

lordrobs, you were spot on. I was actually moving my foot almost 90º. I tried again tonight, and tried rotating my foot about 40º. I found it much much easier to keep the brakes applied evenly and blip the throttle... although I'm still blipping it too much, so the revs are about 1000rpm too high.

Ah well, with a bit more practice, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

Cheers for all the input.
