hands and feet

[shaolin]

alright, i am left handed but i grab with my right hand, but i am right footed and use my right foor for tricks like nac nacs and can cans, my nac nacs are really small because i cant tweak the bike out the other way, so should i be doing nac nacs the way i try to whip and with my left foot? what hands and feet do u guys use

[crustyfmx250]

Left hand for seatgrab (im righthanded), right foot for nacs.

But i might hafta change that, its hard to put all my weight on my left foot now, its really weak since its break

[Gropes]

im right handed and footed
but i use my left hand for seat grabs

[monster]

thats the same with me

[SIMO]

left hand and right foot

[MIKEY B]

im right handed but i use my left hand for ssgs...
and when i started to candy bars and sarans i used my left leg but now i use my right leg....i think its all based on personal preferance!

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

yeah im right handed and right footed, but i do my nac nac's to the left side, wen i try do ssg's i go wit my left hand, can can's(only lil one's) i go to my left. so i agree that it is basicly personal prefrance.

In SSG's I gues you need your right hand on the bars to keep te bars straight so you don't land all twizted up.

well...except if your doing it 1 handed, or a double grab :D

[WaussInd]

Which way do you guys whip?

I'm right handed
Left hand for grabs on SSG's
Right foot over for nacs or cans.
I whip it out to the right side (as much as I can... lol. they suck :()

[shaolin]

i whip to the left but i nac nac to the left making my bike tweak right so i cant do em big at all maybe i should start doing nacs the opposite way even though it doesnt feel as right

[crustyfmx250]

i can whip either way, but turning left (back end commin out to the right) is the way i can do em bigger.

[bryan]

i can barely whip either way but when i whip to the right its all bmx style

[shaolin]

seems like i do everything opposite, even when i skate im goofy and mongo footed

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

i (try) whip to my right, ummm i suck at em'!!! :(

[freerider]

right foot for nac nacs!! i dont think i,ve seen anyone do it with there left!! :D i,ve seen a few people grab with there left but it looks crap!!

[Gropes]

are out to the right

[mulcs]

hands and feet, this is a really good topic, most people use there left for grabbin the seat, there are the odd few that use the right but mainly left
i think it is importantt to learn things like this on both sides, it helps for good bike control
there are a fair few pros usin both sides now which is given them more variations, yeah well thats what i think

[homegrownmaniac]

Hey Mulcs where are some good spots to ride in Perth???
i'll be up there next year!!

[RedBull]

im right and i do it all to the right but i got to learn to use both sides

[Nihility]

i know this has nothing to do with it, but i don't ride FMX, so it's the closest i can relate to it...

in BMX, i use my left foot for can cans, 1 footers (whoa! huge trick hehe, but u don't do nac nacs on a BMX) and whatever u needa use 1 foot for...

i use my left hand to grab the seat, but i can't do ssg's...i do stuff like Toboggans and Flatty Seat Grab etc.

i Flatty (Pancake) to the left, but can kick out left or right

it is really odd the way i ride...and even tho i can't do these tricks in 360's, if i were to do em one day, it'd look very retarted...cos i spin to the right for 360's, but i also barspin to right, x-up to the right, flatty left, and turndown to the left...i also tailtap spinning left...

to explain it easier, i should be spinning the other way if i were to throw some of those tricks in, but i can't...or be doing the tricks to the opposite side

u probably don't understand wtf i'm on about, but it's like whipping a moty to the right, and doing a nac nac with ur left foot...it looks too weird...

[JSR]

When I started doing whips I did them out to the left, but then I started doing them to the right when I was learning Nac Nacs, now I either do them to the right if I'm standing up or to the left if I'm sitting. It all depends on the jump and the run up.

I'm right handed and footed, and I use my right leg for can cans and nac nacs. I use my left for saran wraps though..... weird.

[JAB]

HA bix u do pretty much everything opposite to what i do!!
I use right foot for one footers.. i can't do seatgrabs yet but i'd use my right hand (thats what i use on tramp)
I flatty to my right and can whip both ways but right better
I barspin to the left, xup right, turndown right :D
