Concussion Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm left ff, but wish I used my right sometimes. Pedal kicks are ok, but when I try pedal ups etc my left foot/leg is useless when putting the power down from a full rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 At the moment Im about 1 pallet lower on sidehops to the right against to the left. Will probably be able to get higher with more practise, only been trying them the wrong way a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmks88 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 anyway i was thinking that most of the pros were rightys ? Vincent, Giacomo, Gilles, Dani Comas, Kenny Belaey.... all right footed like me its a bit better when youre right footed if you have a derailleur, for right footers its better to sidehop to the left so you wont hit your derailleur at first i was doing to the right side but then i learned doing them to left and now i can get a lot higher to the left side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Harris! Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I dont think the right foot forward can be blamed for sh*t riding really..... its whatever foot your most comfortable on when you first went to pedal hop and such I ride with left foot forward and my mate rides with right foot forward but were both at the same level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Banana Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wank with left, ride with right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diz Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm right foot forward but i'm practicing with the left at the moment (not as i write this...obviously!). Just cos i think that when it comes down to it, you wanna be able to do tricks with either foot forward, also to either direction...no limits then.

sstein Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've never seen a link between left/right handed and feet position. Unlike left/right handed, were supposedly your brain is wired differently, which foot you have forward really comes down to which way feels more comfortable - almost by chance, and you just happen to learn that way. We are creatures of habit, and we repeat actions. Like try folding your arms the opposite way - feels weird, right This is simply not true weather you are right or left handed depends on which of your visual feilds is more developed, if you have a stronger left visual feild, you will be right handed, the same follows for which of your feet you find more natural. There is definitely a link however as you said we are creatures of habit and if you originally learn to use left foot forward you will feel more comfortable like that, similar to if you told a right handed child to always hold a pen in the left hand before teaching them to write. Confusing I know, but there have been some great psychological studies into this. I personally am stronger with all of my right side, compared to my left.

casualjoe Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 If were making general observations about the deferences between leftys and rightys it seems like leftys bail a bit better with the back brake and left foot being on the same side making it easier to get off the bike and rightys progess a bit quicker when first learning. These are both for right handed people and is quite possibly a big load of bullok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
