Does pedal orientation affect sidehop height?

[maestro8]

mawesome said all there needs to be said in this thread. end of issue. it's personal preference... however you learn the skill is how you'll do it best... obviously if you go against your personal preference you won't be able to hop as well.

physics doesn't care what foot goes forward or back. either way you do it, you're still using the tire's compression to get your hop height.

really? then why do I find it easier to grab with my rear foot? oh, it must be because you're full of sh*t.
