Brett1990 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Ok just after some advice please I have recently got myself a bike and have decided to try trials again after 8 years I've been watching allot of video and noticed that all the videos ive seen use there right foot as there leading foot to pedal kick. Now I'm usualy right footed but have always done this with my left ?? I've tried to learn with my right but just can't and worry that because my left leg isn't as strong as my right it may affect the distancs I can jump etc ? What do you guys think stupid question I know but it's anoying me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's known as your chocolate foot, whichever foot you have forward when just standing on the pedals comfortably is the one to use. I myself am right footed but ride left foot forward as well so don't worry about it, it won't affect your strength or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett1990 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's strange because I usually wheely leading with my right foot and find it hard to roll into a jump with my left but from a stand still I can hop and do some decent jumps/gaps on my left I picked up my bike yesterday and spent most the day riding I'm paying for it now with blistered hands lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 when you wheely and stuff with your right that's normal, it's like the half pedal technique where to get the front wheel up you kick with your bad foot so when the wheel is up your correct foot is forward to control the move.
