Question: Which foot do you use to pedal grab with? (read the post)


- Front foot only
- Back foot only
- I can pedal grab with my front and back foot
- I can't pedal grab but i wanted to vote in this thread
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering what foot people use to pedal grab (not crank grab)
with. Post your hopping stance (which foot forward), which way your
better at side hopping (left or right), and what foot you use to pedal
grab with.

I pedal grab with my front foot and hop with my right foot forward. I
hop higher to the left.

I do everything to my right (back foot), so when I do learn pedal grabs
I guess they will be with my back foot.

Who are the people that said the could do it both ways? I want to learn
it with my back foot and was wondering how long it would take to learn
it with the other foot?

And everyone else, post which foot forward you have and which way you
hop (look at the first post). Im wondering if anyone has the same
problem as me.

most people pedal grab with their front foot, because its easier. but
I'm weird, so i pedal grab with my back foot using mike middleton's
technique...that is, get your back pedal on the obstacle, then bring
your front pedal up in back instead of in front. so for me, my left
foot is usually back for hopping, but when i'm in a pedalgrab, my left
foot is in front. then pull the uni up, and jump up at the same time
so the wheel spins half a revolution, and you land with your front foot
in front again.
yeah, i don't think that made much sense at all...but it works for me.

I pedal grab with my back foot.

Last summer I fractured my right wrist, while I had the wrist splinted
I jumped holding with my left hand and learned to sidehop to the right
instead of the left. When I learned to pedal grab I hop way better to
the right, so now I have to pedal grab with my hind foot.
