Side-stance questions?

 Side-stance rollers, I've got a few questions for y'all to ponder...
While pumping transition:
1. Which foot does more work? Front/Back
2. Do you transfer weight from one foot to the other?
3. Do you transfer weight to different wheels on your skates?
4. Any difference backside or frontside?
5. Any goofy side-stance rollers? (right foot leads)

you mean some poeple can actually tell whats going on w their feet- other than trying like hell nt to slam hard??!?

ok ok maybe my backfoot(right) gets more work.

front side is an intersting question
regular stance my back foot(right) doesnt want to get w the program --
goofy foot (r foot forward) my front sides are easier - I just suck at goofy.

i find if you put weight on frt foot - you have a chance to slam more

: While pumping transition:
: 1. Which foot does more work? Front/Back

A: it depends if I am going up or down the transition

: 2. Do you transfer weight from one foot to the other?

A: Yes, going up the wall I lean more on the front foot, as I reach the top it switches to the back foot(going backside) frontside is the same until I hit the lip, then I tend to hit the front foot harder

: 3. Do you transfer weight to different wheels on your skates?

A: Yes, at the lip most of the weight seems to be on the heel of the front foot and toe of the back foot, unless it is something special like a nose grind.

: 4. Any difference backside or frontside?

A: Yes, frontside it is more likely that I am taking off from the front foot. I have paid attention to this because when I am skateboarding and going frontside (airs, grinds) it is more comman to push through with the back foot and it feels good. I have not been able to emulate that feeling on my skates going frontside like I can going backside.

: 5. Any goofy side-stance rollers? (right foot leads)

A: not me but I do try to ride "switch" some times, it started with tricks to fackie and from fackie but now I try to link them together and learn the basic going backwards

Thanks Irene for the questions.... good stuff, Brian
