We were 90 OOP for 27 years before changing over to just three teeth out this past year. We did a lot of off-road and logging-road riding over the years OOP. We generally kept our relative pedal positions in mind as we dealt with obstacles so that no one got to them with a pedal down, particularly when leaning. Many times my pedal was down as the captain cleared an obstacle, but by the time my cranks got there my pedal was high enough to avoid it. (Okay, one time I did stick a pedal down on an object, which resulted in a fun lifting of the rear end and unplanned turn of the bike, but that was back in 1989, so it doesn't count anymore.)
