Riding switch is interesting. You’d think it would be no big deal, but apparently it’s considered quite difficult for most boarders. Thus, the hyperbole in describing it. But one of my children is the only right-hander in the family. She’s also the only boarder. As a wee one, she kept trying to do things left-handed because that’s what she saw her mother do. I used to have bizarre conversations with her: it’s OK to be different, sweetie…there’s nothing wrong with being right-handed. There was no one around to show her how to be right handed until she went to preschool. So it turns out she’s much more ambidextrous than most righties. This has translated into her being seen as a “baller” (apparently the latest version of “awesome”) on the board because switching is easy peasy for her.
Basically, she went through what is normal for lefties. There’s a reason lefties are over-represented in sports.
