stupid question: what's "switch footed" ?

[Flatcap]

Yep, Fiola went left to right so that's an opposite for him!

if you don't understand any of this, maybe you should have stuck to bmx throughout the 90's, or maybe just piss off back to looking at bikes on stands in a field.

amen gordon!

All of this is much easier to explain face to face, when standing on a bike. I know people who have been riding forever and still stuggle to get their head round it (but they are a bit thick  ).

Photos might help, but its still alot to do with your natural way of riding, which doesnt come across in a photo. Could be a nice web clip ..... Chris? you are the teacher

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

This pic baffled me its obviously a recent pic of fiola but i did find myself looking at some old pics to see which way he airs etc as i knew he was never goofy.

it's an opposite (for him) hip, what's baffling?

Mebbies bad choice of words on my behalf, i was surprised to see fiola doing an opposite table as its a pretty good one to be fair, knees tucked etc.

You're right, it did sound a bit off, wasn't meant to be, what I meant to say was, would we be cool as fook if we had ridden in the 90's? . Mr Gogo seems to think people are lesser humans if they had a break from riding and even lesser if they collect old bikes.
Shame really cos its all bmx

Airing switch is pretty easy to explain.

Watch Mike Miller do a lookback....most people do lookbacks opposite, Miller does 'em regular way with his feet the other way round so he looks like a goof for a few seconds. That is switch.

It gets confusing to me when people air regular footed and grind goofy (i.e. Aaron Ross).

Thats a totally different thread....

And Jamie Bestwick. He does all his airs regular footed, but then does his lip tricks turning the other way (without changing his feet) so they are goofy. Although now Im sure Jamie can air and grind just as well both ways now!

[bmxbert]

im a goofy rider. makes for easy rocket manuals as your foot is ack right next to the peg
i ride anti clockwise with my right foot back but when i spin or x my bars i go clockwise

makes it easy as your first knee is always back

looks all fcuked up though

[teamsano]

goofy riding is seriously the worst thing in bmx, apart from white rims.

I sort of do that, ride goofy on ariels, but peg stall, grind the other side with out changing feet so they look regular
