Right foot forward - although I've managed to train myself to use left/forward for tight RH switchbacks. I still find endo turns far harder to do to the right though, this was the same on a trials bike, and there's no leading foot issue there.

you are my poor technique mirror. I'm Shit the other way round. Fancy trying a tandem or would we fall off instantly.

You'd just end up fighting against each other.
When we first got our tandem i had to try to remember to ride LFF* as this was easier than Mrsstu trying to learn how to ride RFF.
*i can ride either way.
Though we do have to set off RFF again down to Mrsstu.

I've seen it mentioned a couple of times on this thread. How does switching lead foot help with doing 360's?

Bike I'm truly indifferent, it depends on which way the corner I've just exited turned.

Board left foot forward, but can ride switch if necessary.

Football, more right foot for deadballs, but definitely left foot for volleys (better foot as standing foot)

All right hand.
