I'm seeing more and more guys riding off from a stop, "dragging" their feet behind them, inches above the ground for a good 100 meters or so, before putting them on the pegs.

To me, the quicker your feet are up when you pull away (And the longer you wait to put them down when stopping), the safer and better balanced you are (and honestly, the better rider you are too)

Is there any reason people do this that I am missing? Maybe its something really awesome that I don't even know about!
