How do you improve your leaning / balance?

What helped you solve this?

I am still tinkering with it in terms of duros but the easiest change I made was to replace the cupped washers on the roadside cones with flat washers. The even better change was to replace the boardside fatcones with barrels. This makes it more linear and closer to channels.

Nope. Hadn’t had any rides that needed them (in terms of feeling secure or falling out) and i like that I can just step in or out without the straps

I understand the concern with being completely locked in with the heel straps and generally I never ride with the heel straps when in heavy traffic with cars. However they make a huge difference to deep turns especially toe-side.
