mcspamhammer Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Question from a newbie here so patience please if I'm talking out me arse Is it better to practice a move and alternate the forward foot or does everyone favor one or the other. I seem to be more comfortable using my right foot but don't want to get lazy on the other foot if it's crucial to good technique.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally for me its like being a beginner again when I try to use my bad foot for things. So I say alternate your feet if you want to be the best in the world otherwise just do what feels comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I don't think it's that important to learn both feet forward, just ride with the one that your your best with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickkkkk Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 definately a handy skill to have for comp use!can you use both, and can you sidehop both ways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I can't even backhop with my right foot foward. I just automatically turn the cranks backwards instead of fowards! Left foot pushes down, right foot lifts up haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 can you use both, and can you sidehop both ways?I can do a few things, I can sidehop about bar height, 6ft gaps, wheel swap and so on. Vince is a beast at it though! Sometimes it hard to tell which foot is his fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
