My theory on which foot forward relates to leg strength. The stronger being the front foot so acceleration is faster. I'm interested to see whether this is the same for you guys as well.
Acceleration from a standing start is not quicker with your preferred or 'stronger' foot/leg forward, if you start with the opposite foot forward you get half a crakd rotation from that leg, then a full rotation from the 'stronger' leg equalling faster acceleration.

Both Handed (yes that is the scientific term... no its not the same as ambidexterous (sp?)) Meaning i do different things with different hands : Throw with right, write with left, strongest arm right, play pool with left.
Kick right

im naturally right foot forward but i can now ride both just as comfortable as the other, i can whip both ways with either foot forward and can flattie both ways, good skill to have to change up ur style!

Ok I do alot of sking and wake boarding. When we teach a beginer to work out which for goes to the front we stand them on the beach and when there not ready for it give them a little push. Usually if there right handed their right foot will move back to stop them falling over.

I am right handed and use my left foot foward riding, snow baording, wakeboarding and water skiing.

I am right handed , surf as goofy foot skate and box with my right foot forward but hold a rifle with my left finger on the triger but just don't feel comfortable with my right foot forward on my bike , I have been pondering this for a long time and glad some one has created a forum on this subject, and I still do not understand it .

The correct title for this thread is

"Which foot is your Chocolate foot?"

I remember seeing some trials video (Dirty Tricks and Cunnings Stunts) with Hans Ray in it, and he talk about "Zee Chwacolate fit".

Great video for an old school laugh.

PS. The Left will rise!

Right Handed. Skate and Snowboard Regular (left foot forward), Ride with right foot forward. I don;t think there's much of a pattern. What you start doing you stick with.

Right handed, right foot forward when using a skateboard (hardly ever) and right foot forward when riding.
I think what chalkie said is correct. ^^

Right..

I'm right handed, right footed, right everything

except,

I'm goofy for skate, snow, wake and surf, (right foot forward)

and also I put my right forward when I ride, I think it's got to do with whether you are natural or goofy, most right handers are natural skate, snow, wake, surf and therefore put left forward for riding also?:confused:

Well thats what I think:) ;)

How about a secondary to the poll;
"Do you consider yourself an artist or a scientist" or "are you better at Maths or English"
This might help clearup the left / right brain thing.

Oh hang on, I think I'm equally bad at both. Bugger. :rolleyes:

You mean one of them has to go forward? Fark, no wonder i can barely pedal, and the guy at the LBS keeps laughing when I take my bike in.
