Check your floorboards. If the rubber is worn down, or if you got something on them it causes your feet to slide off during high speeds

Wind blows your legs apart .


Stop eating broccoli and Trying letting the wind out slowly, clenching the cheeks together can help.

Is the OP male or female? maybe it's not the wind but the vibration causing this to happen.

You could always look on the bright side, on a hot day it would be one way to keep your crotch from getting too hot.
