Use an old inner tube and put it around your thighs. Use it like a rubber band to keep them legs together cuz you’re totally uncommitted wether you know it or not. That foot landing safely on the ground and you not going down is the sign.
Man up
Grab that BB with them feet like your life depended on it. Move to pedals without the inner tube after you can sandwich the BB consistently.
Keep that handle bar closer to you for longer. It’s perfect for about 3/4 of the rotation then your left arm pushes it out which stops the rotation and makes your balance get wonky and that’s why your back foot goes away to balance out. Whip that shit faster and keep the bars in until your feet are ready to stomp down. You’re soooooo close!!
What helped me was trying to focus on my feet catching at the same time instead of just one foot.
Bro you’re there. Wrap the back foot and aim for the crank. Your front foot is on so if your back foot doesn’t make it on, your front foot will save you. Stop using the back foot to find the ground. Trust in the front foot catch.
As wise friend once told me. Just put your foot back on the pedal. I like to do a couple of blind no footers to get comfortable with where my pedals should be. Just look forward hop up and do a no footer. Three in a row your feet know where to go. Then do the damn thing.
