I go right foot forward and side hopt to the left....if you dont quite land a side hop this way at least you can fall to pedal and stay safe.....unlike the right foot forward and side hop to the right if you dont make it its more likely that your going to hit the deck hard....... Try to side hop to both sides it makes sections in comps and stuff thatlittle bit easier make any sence ? im shure some one can clear it up a little better for you Dave x
