haha, i know thats what i love about that avatar of mine. man look at that ski, you probably can't even tell i painted it myself. When i am tired or sometimes riding into beach i do put a foot forward. i do also ride like that if i am racing the course, as soon as i want to jump or ride in away that i turn real sharp, i kick in. both feet. i have some weird instinct to kick my feet out sometimes so i got xft footholds to lock me in good or bad. i don't like jumping with a foot forward, it just me, and the way i ride. i have had the ball slapper landing many times since i had shortend my hull so this winter i fixed that somewhat by moving my foothold forward 4". much better.
i like to jump nose high but too high/over 90 degrees sucks. tail landings are where its at. stomp the landing and blast the throttle to ride out. i don't bend the knees until landing to absorb some of the landing force.
