    akward??

    I dont know if this is the same for everyone or not but when im riding i feel suuuppper comfortable turning left.... when i go right i feel soooo akward and loose it alot... when turning left i can lean alot in complete control... to the right... not so much. i dont get it!!!! also... when going over the whoops if i land a little hard then on the next whoop i always accidently give it gas and end up making it worse haha i end up losing control on the whoops alot

    tips? tricks? practicing techniques? anything that will help haha thanks

    just take alot of right turns. just like some people skate goofy, or if your left handed (i am) there is always a direction people are more comfortable with. i still feel more confident in right turns than i do left. just practice and get better.

    left turns are easier for me because the brake is under the right foot...

    If it does not move at first, get a bigger hammer!!
