downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I used to only be able to bunnyhop, 360 static spins, other stuff that you dont need to pedal in, with my left foot forward, but i pedal kick with my right, i can do both feet though :P lol, im weird :P lol In short, yes, i can ride switch VERY easily and only took me like 3 months to get it perfect :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I can do a fair bit switch, bunnuyhops, manuals, backhops, gaps, sidehops, wheel swaps (pigeons) and so on. I am trying taps latley, they are rather tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) "1 footers of drops" heres the next step: what you want to try is find a ft high wall, get on the backwheel right to the edge, take your front brake off, take your non-drive foot and kick the front wheel round, pop the foot on and drop. I think its mr chris agrid that can use what ever foot in whatever position. so he doesnt really have a drive foot as he uses both. EDIT: it may be someone else, but meh Edited November 11, 2005 by ash-kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I ride switch sometimes on the smaller stuff if im bored, you can make usually shit sections more fun because they become so much harder when riding with your wrong foot forward. I can do all the basics switch. Look at riders like Vincent Hermance, he can sidehop and tap over bar height switch footed, as well as ride beasty natural all with jis wrong foot forward! I suppose that what 11 years of experience get you. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Ye it's hard, very hard, replacing is the most useful move for wrong foot riding, sidehoping also usefull. One half of your brain controls the right side and the other half controls the left half, which is puting it simply. People who are usually left handed or left footed will find it easier to learn with he wrong foot being the right foot, and left handers who ride with there right foot will find it easier. It's pretty good to learn, makes things more interesting, it's good for other stuff aswell. phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiroKage Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 I really need to learn with both feet because my left foot is my chocolate foot but i pedalhop with my right foot. it can really f*ck me up sometimes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 No it means that if you just use 1 side of your brain its no use you have to use both sides because if not you forget what you were trying 2 do in the 1st place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
