How to find your dominant foot

I just created a new way that I'm pretty sure hasnt been thought of
before, but works phenomally.

I want credit for this.

Here goes: to determine which foot is your dominant foot, all you
need to do is get three objects. any objects. stand up. try juggling
the objects. If you have prior juggling experience, then instead of
three objects try taking just over your limit. if you can juggle seven,
take nine. you get the point.

When you start losing control and step forward to catch the falling
items, stop, and look at which foot you used.

Ta-daaaaa!

thoughts? does it work for you?

Another way would be to just stand up straight with your body stiff,
and slowly lean forward till you start to fall; see which foot
naturally goes out first to regain balance.

talk about the most complicated way to ever figure out the simplest
possible problem. For starters, I would say almost anyone will have the
same dominant foot to the hand they write with. In addition to that,
if you are so disconnected from your own body that you cannot tell
which foot you prefer, you probably won't ever be able to ride a
unicycle.

I'm not so sure about that. I have no idea what my dominant foot is,
because it changes for whatever it is I'm doing.

Falling = left foot
Driving = right foot
Unicycling = right foot
Running jump = left foot
Chuck Norris maneuver = right foot

Yeah sorry I was being kind of a jerk. I still think it shouldn't be a
chore to figure out your Dom foot, especially if you already can ride.

yeah, good point. I was just havin trouble figuring it out because it
seemed that the harder i concentrated on not paying attention to what
foot was moving, the more i willed one particular foot to move. I just
needed a distraction. you are correct that I'm preaching to the choir
on 95% of the readers of this forum. which i guess begs the question
(can I threadjack my own thread?) *"how many people reading the posts
here can actually ride a unicycle?"* there could be hundreds of quiet
wannabees watching from the sidelines, reading EVERYTHING we write

exactly! educating others is an excellent use of this website, whether
they can ride or not. they'll gain appreciation for the sport either
way.
