Regular and Switch

Alright so yea, Switch, and Regular. Which Is Which For You? Left or Right?

So I've just been kinda curious since not everyone is the same which, left or right, is regular for you?
I'm right dominant, and most people I've meet besides the few friends I skate with that everyone else skates mostly left dominant. So I'm just tryin to see whats more the majority. Mainly because it kinda sucks if you run into another skater and can't give em' the props they deserve for bustin' something switch. I know to be a good skater you haven't to be ambidextrous with both feet but swtich tricks are harder no question.

If you could actually grind on rollerblades you would be able to tell the difference. Naturally, people will favor one foot over the other, the same is true for spinning in a certain direction. That is, if youre not one of those freaks of nature who are completely balanced, not favoring either side of their body.

I'm left footed, but I try to learn everything switch so as not to limit myself when I want to do switch-ups.

How is there no difference on skates?? I think he's saying which foot would you prefer to lock in for a simple makio, left of right because the makio is the basis for any locked grinds. So if you always do an acid locked in with your left foot then if you do one with your right foot he's saying he wouldnt realize that it was harder for you. I think. Complicated to say but easy to think about. But anyways i do everything locking in my right foot.
