The front brake is something you either learn from experience or the track. But, when you are short you need to do somethings differently...like stopping on hills. The samething will apply if you stop on a street that slopes to the left, you won't be able to put your left foot down or use the rear brake.
Another option before the track is the MSF course, they changed the program to help with faster turns and techniques.
I'm pretty sure you can't take the actual MSF at all in Ohio now. It's all done through the state. At least that's what it looked like when I signed up for the BRC. Yeah, I just went to the MSF page, nothing for us now. How the class goes seems to be a crap shoot. Hope I get lucky and have great coaches.
