Anybody else rotate in the same direction as their forward foot?

[freeridekid]

So I ride left foot forward and spin to the left, but everyone else I've seen who rides left foot forward spins to the right. It's weird because it makes sense to me that it'd be easier to spin to the right, but when I do it it feels so awkward. I also turn, wallride, hip, etc... to the left more naturally. Anybody else have this problem? (if it even is one)

I ride left foot forward, have always rotated to the right, but on the other hand I can spin the other way and actually pop better to the left. I do all my tricks backwards as well. I tailwhip so I can't kick the frame, I xup towards my foward food, and I just found out that I nofootedcan the wrong way as well. Oh well, if it works, do it!

I spin the right way but I whip the wrong way. Whatever works.

It's just about being comfortable, if you're feeling that, then you're doing it right. If your outside foot is forward, I believe it helps me push the front end around and my back foot helps push the back end around, but that could just be in my mind, but that's the way I feel comfortable.

That's the way I ride. That's what "goofy footed" is on a bike. No worries, though. Lots of people ride that way, it's just whatever feels best for you.

i ride left foot forward and spin left more than right

I ride left foot forward and turning left is easier for me too. I tried turning right and I just can't do it.

if you're going to turn "opposite" all the time (or what looks like opposite) you should try to learn regular too and turn both directions. it'll open more doors for you on street and on ramps.

ryan nyquist was one of the first people that i can think of doing back to back regular 360 to opposite 360 in contests. but i think his natural stance was goofy.

i think jamie bestwick was probably the first person to get opposite airs on vert truly dialed. then mirra.

same.

[freeridekid]

yeah, I know it's not a problem if it works for me, I was just wondering exactly how unusual it was.

aar5on ross.

a lot of pros are doing sh1t both ways now, helps doing grind 360s etc (ross). also aaron ross runs oppo pegs to help with those

i dunno whats right or wrong, i spin the right way, i whip the right way i think hahahaha

I ride left foot forward and spin right, but I tabletop to the left which I've heard is weird.

that sounds normal. if you were doing a 360 table you would not want to be tabling to the inside of your turn. i spin to the left and table to the right.

[organizedrage]

thats me all the way. its just what feels natural and everyone gives me crap for it as well. haha

[muddy beast]

Yeah I spin and whip different directions...

I just never think about my feet...just put them where ever my legs happen to stop pedaling, or where its comfortable.
