Baller matthewbrown Posted December 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 7, 2016 those stats seem "goofy"....couldn't find a LFF skier at a tournament if my life depended on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted December 7, 2016 Gold Member Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ever notice that it's always the OTHER way that has the advantage? And yet no one actually switches? And btw there are 3 turns on each side that "matter": 1/3/5 and 0/2/4. Also 3 pulls in each direction that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted December 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 7, 2016 To Thans point I'll argue the turn at 6 also matters being the proud owner of numerous scores at 5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted December 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2016 as a RFF skier I have worked on my 1/3/5 a lot more than my 2/4/6. All those 1 balls plus 3 critical turns on that side vs 2 on the other. Result? My 1/3/5 is far better than my 2/4/6.

Baller Gloersen Posted December 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 7, 2016 1/3/5 a weakness under this LF. At our club of those skiers running <14m; 16=RFF, 3=LFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller JC McCavit Posted December 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 7, 2016 Right handed basketball players jump pushing off with their left leg to dunk or do a layup, so their left leg becomes stronger over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller OTF Posted December 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 8, 2016 LFF on everything always have been. Can go RFF but its ugly and weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ToddL Posted December 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 8, 2016 Balance foot forward. Skate boarding requires you balance with your front foot on the board while pushing with the back leg. Therefore a proper skater has their balance foot in front on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted December 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 8, 2016 Left handed and LFF skier. I skateboard right foot forward and push with the left, wakeboard the same. Throw and bat right. Every time one of these surveys come up my impression is there's no rhyme or reason to handedness and how people do different sports.

Baller ToddL Posted December 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 8, 2016 The best way to study this is to capture all of the typical attributes which are theorized to have an association with choosing which foot goes forward. Obtain a sufficiently significant sample. Then, group respondents into every possible combination of the attributes. Finally, calculate the average skill level by group. See which groups rise to the top and what attributes are common among those top groups. Look for statically significant correlations. Attributes: Dominant Eye Dominant Hand writing Swing bat/racket handedness Best Balance foot/leg Step Up on High step/platform/box/bench - foot placed up first Step onto a balance beam/slack line/walk a balance line - foot placed first / first step foot Strongest Leg Foot that pushes when skateboarding Foot used to kick a ball Foot forward when surfing/wake surfing/wake boarding etc. Performance: Skier level (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Years slalom skiing Personal Best score in a tournament (Buoy count @ Line @ speed) Personal Best score in practice (Buoy count @ Line @ speed) Demographics: Age Sex Height Weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller adkh2oskier Posted December 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just my personal observation, being LFF if I'm late coming into 5 ball I'm glad I'm LFF, if I'm late into 6 then I'm wishing I was RFF. I am right handed, Golf righty, Bat Lefty. Wakeboard and Skateboard LFF. But hold the handle In the Goofy grip, right palm down. And use a RTP w an old rubber Connelly Vision front.

Baller Dirt Posted December 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted December 8, 2016 A guy I ski with was having lower back pain and his Chiro told him it was because he is all twisted up one direction when skiing. The Chiro said it would be better if he could switch feet every other ride. He put his ski on the wrong foot forward and ran his opener and a couple more passes. I was really impressed. I wouldn't have been able to get out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
