I don´t think it mather really, as mentioned, Neil him self sidhope with the front foot into the wall I´ve also seen other riders who sidehops high as f**k with the front foot to the wall
I´ve rode with mine for a couple of days now and it still not bite completely... but when I put some water on it bites like hell!!! So put some water on it, helps alot
Try All caged = Onza VPs = It rides very well, a bit shorter than my former bike(koxx xtp) , but it´s very comfortable and easy when´s up on rearwheel and well light too...
