Just wondering what foot people put forward when their jumping? I'm a left foot and I'm right handed. From folks I've talked to that seems odd to them.
Just curious...

Since I've seen a few iterations of the "which foot forward" thread I'll say that more people ride left foot forward than right, maybe 60/40 but it's really pretty random IIRC.
Everyone I ride with is RFF, It took me a while to figure out that i'm opposite from everyone else. I also spin easier opposite everyone else. When i was first learning x-ups and bar spins i couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong until I tried it the other way and it all came together after that.
right foot forward, spin/wallride to the left, table to the right, X-up to the right. i can ride switch alright, to do right wallrides, get a 1/2 stroke between doubles, even air out a 1/2 pipe, but i go off axis when i try to alley-oop switch, haven't even though of trying a switch 3.
I think that a lot of the x-up, turning, spinning, and tabling has to do with comfort. I ride left foot forward and another guy that i ride with is also left foot forward and he is the exact opposite of me for tabling, and spinning.
he's kinda weird and can table, and spin on either side almost equally as well, but his stregnths are opposite of mine.
I used to be able to go either foot forward, but somehow I morphed into mostly left foot forward to ride trails. I can still switch it up a bit riding DH. Im right handed and table and spin left, whip right (if that matters)
