I'm left handed but I bat and play golf right handed.

My son is right handed but he bats and plays golf left handed.

Playing golf left handed is just WRONG!

I know some mtb'ers who are lefties. There are a disproportionate number of pilots who are lefthanded. The Royal Air Force did a study a while ago on why so many pilots are left handed. They found that flying uses the artistic side of the brain (right side?) because the eye-hand coordination is an artistic endeavor rather than a rational/mathematical function.

Probably the same with mtb'ing. TC

Right handed, but not a dufus with my left hand - no Michaelangelo either though. (I know people who can't open the dishwasher with their left hand).

I'm right footed as well and skate and snowboard "normal". But, I am most definitely LEFT eyed. Anytime I have to look through a lens (ie. scope. camera lens, magnifying glass, loupe, whatever) it's gotta be left. I can't even close my left eye on it's own (wink). I shoot a rifle lefty as well as a pistol. I learn things every year that I'm more comfortable doing lefty and I know and am good friends with - seem to be drawn to, A LOT of left-handed people. yeah, so there.
