You misunderstood me.
Being goofy or regular is as predefind in your brain as being left handed or right handed is, I wasnt saying all left handed people are regular or vice versa though.
Its set out when you are born, and nothing to do with practice.
If you are left handed and try and force yourself to do things right handed, you will do them FAR less well.
Agreed, say with bmx (as it's what i'm most familiar with) It is "normal" for people to ride right foot forward and spin anti clockwise or ride left foot forward and spin clockwise, however i know people who break these rules and ride left foot forward spin anticlockwise or vice versa. I've also found that for the latter these people also find it alot easier to spin the other way to their natural direction. Whereas I for example find it extremely difficult to spin in my opposite direction and as a result look like a complete spacker trying
I also know riders who dont follow either rule, they can alternate between right or left foot forward and spin either direction totally naturally.
To some extent most people follow the normal rules but its definitely not set in stone.
