okay, i grindon the left side of my bike, and stall on that side also.

confusion comes in where if i'm riding into(to drop into) a vert ramp, the situation is where i have to turn right into it because that the most comfortable for me. so i ride into vert ramps from my right, but if i drop them from my pegs, i do it left(the other way around). some riders have asked me what the hell, and i must always answer that i don't know i do whats most comfortable.

now i know im not wrong to do it like that an dthey know it too, but i'm just wondering if there's a logical reason for this or is it just one of those things that just "is like that"?

Why is it that I feel that by "vert ramp" you mean "miniramp"?

Here's you're problem: you're b*tch-footed. Welcome to the exclusive club, featuring other such riders as Chris Doyle.

just ride. do what feels natural. the more you ride and the better you get, the more this 'weird' stance stuff will play into your own personal style. ignore those that tell you it's wrong. there is no right and wrong when it comes to stunting on your bmx. :D

Has that term replaced "Goofy foot"?

if your idea of a miniramp is a 10ft high bowl, the i guess so.
but for the rest of us in South Africa that is a vert ramp.

No, goofy foot simply means that you ride left foot forward and ride normally for that way (air to the right, grind left). B*tch foot means that - if you were to ride with the left forward - you air to the left and grind of the left, and vice-versa.
