Are you Bigfoot, Sideways or Ambidexterous?

Are you Bigfoot, Sideways or Ambidextrous?

Ellis Piltz and (apparently in conjunction with or at the same time as?) Damon Mathews came up with these concepts to describe people’s (generally one-sided) footbag trick tendencies:

• Bigfoot: Favoring the all surfaces (toe, inside, outside, heel, sole) of only one foot (right or left).
• Sideways: Favoring one side of the foot (and body) over the other (e.g. left inside, right outside, and right toe OR right inside, left outside, and left toe).
• Ambidextrous: Favoring neither foot over the other. Of course this term has been around long before Piltz and Mathews – I’ve also seen it called ambipedal or pedidextrous (both of which are rare).

Myself: I’m Sideways (favoring my left inside, and my right outside, toe, sole, and heel), but (of course) striving to be Ambidextrous (stay tuned for my next post on tips for this).

In thinking about this I was wondering if there are Sideways kickers that favor, for example, the same toe as inside or if the toe and outside are always linked. I’m guessing this could tell something about the way the brain is wired… Anyone?
