I ride right foot forward. These past few weekends at Angel Fire and Pajarito I've been practicing Left foot forward. I think thats a (i dont know what word to articulate it) unique skill to learn(?). That way i get comfortable if a situation comes where the left is forward

I learnt some good tips watching your video, cheers. Good to no being a beginner in this sport.
