People who are left foot forward have it so easy honestly, nearly every complete has RHD, every discount wheel is usually RHD..
Is that good or bad? My mate is left foot forward but grinds with his right side

we call that "fu*k footed" where I live haha. You can do a bunch of cool ass tricks that way though. Topside toboggans, downside whips, those cool ass turndown 3's that you kinda stop the rotation with t-down clickage. I assume learning feeble to easy spin would be much easier since most LFF riders spin right.

My mate Nathan is left foot but does everything opposite like airs, spins and tbogs. I've tried whips on a tramp bike(they're actually quite fun to f*ck around on) and I find opposite whips easier than reg whips. But yeah, people who are f*ck footed can usually do the most stuff, makes it a lot easier for stuff since they don't really have an opposite theoretically.

I don't run rhd with right side pegs. Unless you have a bash guard or a sprocket with a guard built in, it's way too vulnerable for grinds. All it takes is a good chunky ledge to peel a chain link from the pin, or worse end up with a tight spot until you replace a sprocket. I just think it's better to go lhd with right pegs (rhd with left pegs).
I do drive side pedal slides, crank arms, Derek dusters and loads of other shit with no guards what so ever, buy a decent chain and sprocket and you'll be fine.

Rollin on a MTNY Loosefer 21.25 with 9"x29" bars, slick tires, pegs x3, metal pedals, and a mid seat. And a 30/9 gear ratio. I'm thinking of getting a frame with a little tighter geo. Maybe go down to a 21.0 top tube and steeper HT angle. I'm only 5' 6" so it's a pretty big bike for me, but I handle her Wink
