Do You Favor Left or Right Turns? - Page 2

I'm more comfortable turning to the left for some reason.

I'm way more comfortable turning right. My body position just feels better when I go right. Left I get all fucked up.

I like lefts better, because pushing on left bar, you don't have to worry about the throttle.

defector · 09-23-2009, 10:55 AM

Without a doubt, left. Don't even think about it, and just go. On right handers I find myself (over)thinking it alot of the time. Pisses me off.

I PREFER lefts.

However, most of my crashes have been on left-handers, I go through 2-3x as many right pucks and I am generally faster on right-handed tracks.

While I mentally prefer to turn left, apparently I am better at turning right.

slightly Right... not sure why this is but it's minute enough that I don't really worry about it.

Krabill · 09-23-2009, 05:21 PM

I prefer rights, but it's because of my fucked up technique. I pull on the outside bar instead of pushing on the inside one to turn. I pull on the left bar to go right and my throttle hand is relaxed so I have a better feel for it. When I'm pulling on the throttle side to go left I don't have the same kind of throttle control since I have tension on that bar. Hmm . . . maybe I'll start pulling to go right and pushing to go left, that way my left hand can do all the turning so my right has better control of the throttle, lol

used to be lefts, now it seems I'm more comfortable with rights BUT I don't get the right over as far as the left

Tmall · 09-23-2009, 10:19 PM

No preference. I can see better through left handers. But I'm equally slow and comfortable through either.

Lol.....all this time that I've favored left turns, and I never knew that the location of the throttle hand might be a factor.
