      I do the same thing on my sim pedals. Pretty sure this is just like when you jiggle the stick shift in a car to make sure it’s neutral. It’s a habit for some but not all. It’s basically the foot version of adjusting your hand position of the steering wheel

    It also makes 100% sure he’s fully planted his foot at the end of the pedal travel and there’s no wiggle room left at end of the throttle cable.

    I do the same thing. But it's actually to bring the feet down to the floor. Because from the extreme rear set position, the feet gradually floats off into the air while we press the pedal. We can fine control the throttle only if there is support on our heels. Or else the feet can slide on the pedal due to the small undulations on the track.
    Something similar happens in a motorcycle as well. The motorcycles with end support helps us to lock into the same throttle position even if the motorcycle moves over a pothole.

    Never realized it but I do it while driving and while riding my enduro. I rotate my inside foot while in a corner to check distance from the road

    I do the same thing. It's a little readjustment to make sure the ball of the foot stays where tou want it.

    Im proud to acknowledge this because i did the same...
    Especially on cheap rental kart where the throttle linkage have alot of slack...
    Just to make sure... Ive used everything the kart or cars offer on the tap 😂

    I drive a semi truck for a living and ive done that too, but i have restless leg syndrome and it helps me stabilize my foot for acceleration

    I do the exact same thing. It's literally just a tic to reset the foot position on the pedal.

    I do this when normally driving lol. It's just readjusting your foot 😂

    He wants to feel the pedal at the right place on his foot knowing he can claw his toes to get more pedal grip

    It's actually very common. adjusting the foot constantly

  • @punksidegamingdrummingandg5156

    I do this aswell (obviously not at the same scale) but its to feel where the edge of the pedal is so his foot doesnt come off the throttle
