My preference for hopping is holding the saddle withmy right- hand and having my right-foot forward, but I'm much more comfortable hopping to my left, making pedal grabs harder.
I can do it on both sides (not especially well), but I find grabbing on my right easier- does anyone else have this problem? If so how did you get around it- learn to grab better on the left or jump better to the right?
So you pedalgrab with your back foot? Weird. Just try hopping the other way or with the other foot back. Unless you want to be one of those cool trend setters.
If you hold the seat right handed I would think you would want to jump to the left to pull the unicycle with you. I can understand how your right foot forward stance gives you problems. In order to change only one thing, I would change foot position. Unfortunately I think this is the hardest adjustment to make. Reconsidering, try landing a crank grab several time by jumping to the right to land right foot forward. See if pulling with the right hand going to the right gives you problems. I think I would want that hand free for counterbalance.
