Yea I found that when riding unconnected I need a pedal that has some 'tooth' so I use BMX platform pedals with pins. The Grip Kings with the custom pins added probably work the same too. I used to pedal on the MKS touring pedals but in rain they were too slippery hence the change to the BMX pin pedal. Regardless I have been riding un-connected now since about 2001 or so and have had no negative issues. Once I got over the lazy leg syndrome of (not) riding connected my feet always stay on the pedals.
