Is there different stances when it comes to BMX? email this discussion to a friend?

Hello.

Even though I do a different sport, I use to enjoy and get fascinated with BMX. It impressive how riders of that sport could execute those gnarly tricks and relieved whenever they do.

Now, is there also types of stances when it comes to BMX? I mean, in boxing, there's the Orthodox and the South Paw. In Skateboarding, there's the regular and the goofy footed. Is there also something like that with BMX?

How can you distinguish it if there is..?

Thanks you!

There really are stances in BMX riding. It depends on which foot is in front when you ride in your most comfortable position. That's how you destinguish them.
I'm not sure what they are called (I think I knew, but I can't recall right now), but am almost positive that they do exist.

Hwoa, after eight months, this discussion finally gets a response (^_^ )

Hmmm, so there are stances after all.. I thought that some would even have their bikes custom built to have the sprocket either at the left side or the right..

Thanks for your response (^_^ )

the stances are pretty much the same in riding and in skateing. regular skaters are left foot forward and goofy is right foot foward. in bmx right foot forward is regular and left foot forward is technically "goofy". you could also switch your footing to make it opposite to make it harder. and then you've got riding backwards which is also the same as skating, "fakie." so its all pretty much the same wording between the two sports. and as far as the switching the side that your sprocket is on mainly has to do with grinding, or for rich posers to try and look cool with the $5000 bike that their parents bought them. ha
