I was talking to someone about how I hop. I hop right handed, right foot forward and to the left. Thats kinda alot to say so I thought a system like hand, foot forward and side hop. It also seems easy to remember. I would be right right left. So what do you think?
I like it, but how have you chosen to order those elements? I would have thought that in order of significance it should go 'forward foot', 'sidehop direction', 'hand'.
Using your method I'm left, left, right.

Also right, right, right. I think Tim's method is good cuz it goes top to bottom so its easy to remember. If you wanted to get really simple then I'm triple R, RRR.

I though top to bottom would be the more likelly to be remembered. It seemed to be a natual order for it.
i can hop less well to the right, and with the other hand, again not as well. its almost impossible for me to hop with the right foot forward. i really need to work on it i suppose.
Left, Left, (Right or Left) but I've only been riding for a little over a week and I haven't done jumping/dropping thats high enough where a dominant foot would matter (I can only jump a curb, and even then only half the time but usually I can approach from both directions). Everything else is in unicycling is left though, (idle, mount) but interestingly enough I use my right foot when I play soccer.
