just curious.
Do you guys ride mid foot, back/close to heel, or the balls of your feet?
I used to ride on the ball but now I've switched to mid-foot because for some reason it feels more comfortable but im having a hard time hopping as high and my manuals are off because I have to lean back more.

I used to ride almost on my toes, but then I started running 4 pegs, so now I ride with the middle of my foot.

closer and closer to the toes = more bike control
closer and closer to the toes = more pain/injury when landing hard/shitty
i try and ride towards the middle/rear but my feel always creep forward

I used to ride more on my toes with alot of heel hanging off but i was constantly slipping pedals when i would hop over stuff. Now i ride with the pedal more in the middle of my foot.

Depends what trick I'm doing, but usually I have the middle of the front ball of my foot right on the front edge of the pedal for each foot
if I'm doing a crankflip, I move my right foot (forward foot) up a little so the front ball sits over the front edge of the pedal, or if I'm doing a table top, I like angling my right foot counterclockwise in. makes tables easier in my opinion.
