  1. There was talk in another thread about if there was goofy-footed in
    unicycling or not so I figured we could do a poll.

    I hop:

    Right foot forward,
    Right hand

  2. I'm also right handed if that has anything to do with it.

  3. but then what side do you jump to? I jump to my left side, when i watch
    U2, i notice that none of them do i the same as me. It also makes going
    to rubber from crank a bit harder, so i hear.

  5. Left foot forward, right hand

    Right handed

    Prefer to hop to the right, but working on my left now

    Goal is to get comfy hoping either side with either foot forward.

  6. oddly enogh though i hop using my left handd ( seat in) and jump with my
    right (seat out).

    prefered hop direction - right

  7. Right foot forward
    Right hand holding seat (but I'm left handed....)
    Hop to left

    Weird, I've observed most unicyclists hopping with right foot -back-,
    but this poll is proving exactly the opposite.

  8. I hop right foot forward ('cause I usually bail left foot forward, but
    i'm drinking milk!) and usually use my right hand on the saddle... But
    I've become comptent using the left hand as well... my right hand got a
    little cramped last week trying to get the left-foot forward hopping
    down, so I switch... Unless I'm trying to hop onto something, then I use
    my right hand.
    As for direction, I go whichever way I need to go. Right, left,
    forward, back, it's all good 🙂

    When i get seat out hopping, I'll let you know how I do that 😉

  9. I'm right handed and my dominant foot is my right foot.
    I hop: right hand holding whether seat in or out and right foot forwards
    and prefer to hop to my left. Though I find crank/pedal grabbing easier
    on the right! Argh! Getting better on the left hand side now.

  10. I jump best left foot forward left hand holding but I'm almost the same
    in either hand/either foot forward/jumping either way. I play tennis
    left handed, write right handed, eat left handed, bowl left handed, skip
    stones right handed... I don't know what I am. This post is getting
    complicated...

  13. left foot forward, left hand , and hopping to the left, its all left
    seat in or seat out....... only crank grabs feel more stable to the
    right when my right foot is back, but i cant hop that high to the right
    nor can i go to rubber from a right crnk grab.

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

  18. i hop with my left hand (so right can catch me)
    and with my right foot in back (gives me an xtra spring in my rolling
    hop, and makes crank grabs easier)

  19. I hop with my left hand,not only for balance and so it can catch my
    fall,but because when i learned i started out with left hand in front
    and right hand in back.
    I hop right foot forward,left foot being my dominate foot.
    I usally hop to the right,although i can do it okay both ways.
