I do too, but it's weird when skating switch especially looking at object and depth with execute trick on ledge.

do you just go faster to clear objects? I get all kinds of confused and I want to focus myself.

Regular and right eye dominant.

I think eye dominance might have something to do with turning preference--like right eye dominant prefers turning clockwise (turning in the direction of the dominant eye). For example, I'm better at backside rotating tricks when skating regular and frontside rotating tricks when skating switch. Goofy skaters can be like this as well--look at Bam or Jeremy Wray. Both seem to rotate clockwise far more often that counterclockwise (frontside when skating regular, backside when switch).

Since most people are right eye dominant, I think that most skaters are probably like this. It would make a good poll: what is your eye dominance and which direction do you feel most comfortable turning?

I prefer clockwise when turning my head too, however when going switch my 180s are cleaner. It's fucking with me like am I supposed to be regular?!

yeah that is an astute observation with which eye is dominant. Never really thought about it till you mentioned it and those that have eye sight issues you can see which way they prefer through ticks selection.

You guys are wild. You must show me how to assert dominance over the eyes of myself and others.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

How does one tell which eye is dominate? I'm regular and feel like I look at things with my left eye. I also prefer front side everything over back side.

Now I'm wigged out.

Cover each eye and read a paragraph................................................... I'm waiting.... Now that's done which eye can you read better with? I mean I feel like an idiot typing this out?  self explanatory if you ask me.

alright, so i took this test. i think i am left eyed. i skate regular. i hit footballs with my left foot though and used to jump with my left leg in track and field. i also started out skating goofy as a kid but then some older dipshit told me i was facing the wrong way, so i readjusted to regs. wondering if i am actually native goofy footed.

Ha, I actually found that same one earlier. I noticed this as a child just never knew why it happened.

I can't choose more than one thing in the poll, but I seriously want to see how it pans out. I suggest these poll options:
Left eye dominant and prefer to rotate counterclockwise
Left eye dominant and prefer to rotate clockwise
Right eye dominant and prefer to rotate counterclockwise
Right eye and prefer to rotate clockwise

Thanks for putting it up there. These things fascinate me.
