Muel Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you're right footed, you should ride with the right foot foward all the time really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you're right footed, you should ride with the right foot foward all the time really.No way in hell is that true.Ride with whichever foot forward that feels most comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Errr, yes it's true actually, if you look at any other riders if they're left foot foward like me, then they ride with the left foot pointing fowards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 That must be annoying when you're doing lines or riding natural then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbat Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you're right footed, you should ride with the right foot foward all the time really.I don't agree with that, i'm right footed and ride with left foot forward and know a lot of people who do. I think its more due to whatever people start using and feel more comfortable with.One 'tip' I was told, was if you sidehop to left, have right foot forward and vice versa, its so that your trailing foot/pedal doesn't hit the object you're hopping onto.I think its just down to whatever you feel comfortable withFrooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm the same Is it weird to sidehop to the left if your left foot is your forward foot? Thats what I do and it seems to be working fine for me cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I do and it seems to be working fine for me cheersIf your left foot is forward you should sidehop to the right, your pedal gets in the way when you get to the higher stuff.
