I’m close to 10 hours of practice time and things are coming together nicely. Well, sometimes…

I’ve noticed that my non-dominant foot (left) is causing me to fall left constantly. When I start with my dominant foot (right) I can start straight and after a couple of rotations I usually fall to the left. Always at the same distance. I started noting where my feet were and my left foot is always in the down position when I fall.

When I start off with my non-dominant foot I immediately start to fall left, before even getting anywhere.

I’ve been wondering why I can’t get past a certain point 90% of the time, and I think I’ve finally nailed it down to this. If I can correct my non-dominant side causing me to fall left I’ll be off to the races in no time.

Anyone have any advice for a newb?
