good foot?

[adamof]

I was just wandering which foot is your good foot? : ) I don`t seem to find riders with right good foot like meh :/

[Weetbix]

Right for me!

:h5:

[LukeRainbird]

I use both...
When I learnt to pedal kick, I did it on a jump bike (ie. ubergear) so needed to put in an extra half rotation to bring the front end up. Not thinking, I'd start with 'good' foot (left foot) forward, resulting in pedal kicking right-footed. Since then I've been working on stuff left footed, and any new techniques I learn with the left. However I'm still a touch more comfortable right-foot forward for plain old pedal kicking, it feels that little bit more natural.

Being able to use both, however, is damn handy!

Give riding switch a shot next time you're out. That's what it used to feel like for me when I tried to ride like everyone else!

[Sir_Crackien]

i use both for differnet situations. pedal kick withteh left buyt i lead into things alot with the right.

i actualy do thing in all forms of riding. in turning on my bikes i normally have my inside foot foward.

[adamof]

check teh results :eek3:

[Ebon Dragon]

Fuck, we're getting outnumbered by the left chocos! I honestly thought that there would be more righties then lefties haha.

THey say the side of your choco foot is actually your bad side? LIke for side hops? I am left foot forward and I can go to my left a lot easier than to my right. Can anyone explain that to me? Everytime I try and got right, like pivot the rear end its so much harder, sometimes my right foot comes off the pedal.

ya i'm the exact same, i can't run discs cuz i can only sidehop good to my left, when i sidehop to the right, my weight is shifted in such i weird way

[adamof]

bump :O

[KMT]

more votes -> closer to 50-50 :wiggle:

[adamof]

you seem to be right, my bad :/

btw how do u learn the back pivots?

[Weetbix]

Back pivits or back hops?

Something that helped me when I was learning back hops is to get your front wheel on something higher like a curb or a bench and lean back into your balancing point. I found this easier than just pulling up to a hop each time.

But I didn't really get the hang of back hops till I learn't to pedal kick. After that I could back hop lots and lots ;)

[adamof]

well actually i learned the pedal kick, but still can`t do the hops properly, I only manage do to like 5 and then I loose balance.
btw i was asking about the pivots :), but anyway, thanks for the advice

[stewpend0us]

wow i thought everyone rode left forward...

[Biketrialbrasil]

i´m lefty...

[rocpyro]

I'm both. sorta.:hsugh:

[Ali C]

right foot for me, never understood how people would naturally be left footed, still seems very odd to me.

I can do some moves left footed, gap, sidehop, statick hook things, but they are pretty sketchy.

Pfft... your pretty sketchy moves are my dreams.


Right foot

[adamof]

the right footed people are actually more, according to the poll O.o

[yoyoer13]

Wow the poll seems to be having some strange right footers out there:greddy2:

[psyber_0ptix]

Right foot forward,

i cannot hop left, but i rotate counter clockwise (cause left foot is most rearward?)

i can pivot both directions, but its more effort to pivot right.

current vote:

60R / 57L

[MegamoMidwest]

who's able to balance better by resting on pedal AND bash for side to side stability? oh yeah - left.

the next question is whether people naturally sidehop to their chocolate side or not.

[Ali C]

people still go to bash??

UCI ftw!

I can't do much on a bike with the left foot except half a pedal stroke with the left foot! :rant2:

[Boumm]

yup yup we need one more left foot!

[va_tick]

I'm lefty, but righty for my own pleasures!!!!!!!

[adamof]

drama! 60/60

[Borgschulze]

I'm a left foot forward guy.. on a bike at least.

On a Unicycle I'm right foot forward.

[JuiceBoX]

oh noes after my vote its a tie:noes:


im right foot btw

[MegamoMidwest]

people still go to bash??

heavens no, but for the sake of argument let us just pretend for a while.

[alexzero13]

im righty

but that was for dirtjumping, for trials im not so sure about

i guess anything goes

[adamof]

bump! we`re winning!!

minute for self-advertisement - 15 hops on rear ^.^

[Weetbix]

Extremely close :D
