Guess I'm a bit of an odd man out here as my forward foot shows 99% of pedal strikes. Over the years I've made a practice of alternating which foot is forward in all riding conditions. In my spouse's words, if you can only spin one way, it's a trick. If you can spin both ways it's a skill. Still a bit (lot) awkward on jumps, but it's proven a valuable skillset when riding behind locals at mach chicken on unfamiliar trails where you don't know where the turns/jumps/drops are and only have a split to correct position for them. May give a go on setting both pedals up asym for a learning experience. Old dawgs can be taught new tricks yet.
