So I really dislike the way that these exreme sports have say a "360" and an "opposite 360", which is apparently much harder than a 360 because it's turning the other way.

meg, i thought your point was:
"riding and doing tricks switch is not "harder" - it is just the other way around that you never bothered to learn."
if that isn't your main point, what is?
i still assert that learning tricks 'switch' is harder (i.e. takes more time/more effort/feels more awkward) than learning them in your natural direction.
its almost impossible to test this scientifically but demonstrating it to yourself could be achieved by taking an entirely new task (e.g. learn to ride a skateboard comfortably) and see which way you would naturally prefer to learn it (regular or goofy).
then, intentionally swap that direction and learn to only ride 'switch' and see if you don't break down and go back to the way that feels loads more comfortable.
if it took you a year to get a trick solid and then another 6 months to learn it the other way, you might want to show it off too.
how long on average does it take you to learn a brand new contact staff move? a month? two?
maybe the reason you don't feel like switch tricks are something to shout about is because they aren't that hard for you to learn...
which is no reason to belittle the efforts of people doing things that you have never tried which have a far less steep learning curve - a curve so flat that learning the natural way is too feckin hard for most people that aren't kids.

They (people other than skaters) don't then proceed to crow about how good they are cos they learned both ways. Nor do they repeat tricks just to show that they can do them both ways.

No, I would want to show it off. But I wouldn't expect people to be impressed. And I would have learnt it not to show off, but to be able to flow more consistantly through my moves and to get the staff to move around my body in more interesting manners.
Sorry if my previous post sounded pretty harsh, I reread and was like whoaaaaaaaa, that's way harsh! But then again, so this:
> "riding and doing tricks switch is not "harder" - it is just the other way around that you never bothered to learn."
Thats vaguely my point, but also missing the point. Maybe if you learned switch tricks from the beginning and never learned in your natural direction, it might be a bit harder. But then the natural way would be very much easier to learn.
And we've already established that once you've learned something one way, the other way doesn't take more time, or more effort than the original way did. (even if your impatience makes it feel like it does.)
What I'm saying is: You can't classify the same movement as intrinsically harder just because you're doing it on your weaker side / direction. It may feel harder to do, cos you haven't practised as much, and it may may have been harder to learn, because you've forgotten the agony that went into the other side and have massive impatience with this one, but there's nothing about it as a movement that is harder than the other side / direction.

You know those pen spinny tricks? I can't do them. No idea how.
I'm right handed. Are you suggesting that it is just as easy to learn to spin a pen with my left hand as with my right?
I'm also right legged. My right leg is stronger and more dextrous than my left leg. If I put a keyboard on the floor, I could type with my right big toe way faster and more effectively than my left big toe.
So wouldn't it make sense that some tricks which use my right hand, and leg would be easier for me? It's biological wiring, not lazyness.
Or am I missing Meg's Point?

Yes, there is. Because when you learn a trick it takes muscle memory. When you learn a trick one way, you need to get your body to remember all the details of where things need to be. However, then when you switch sides to learning it on the non-dominant side, everything's reversed. Which means that besides having to have your muscles remember the movement, they also hafto override what was programmed in in the first place.
Its not a question of 'forgetting the agony'
Also, its called your 'weaker side' for a reason. Unless you pay a ridiculous amount of attention to stressing your body evenly, there will be natural tendencies. These tendencies show themselves in doing tricks.
Instance: I'm a righty. In skating there's a trick called the 'lutz' which requires you to leverage off of a toe pick to rotate. There is no way I can generate the same amount of power to do the trick lefty (and look good doing it). Now at the basic level, yes, I can do it. But at the highly competitive level, no forget about it. What I mean by the basic level is one revolution, a '360' if you will. Highly competitive level is 2 or 3 rotations (720,1080).
or maybe that's just me being confuse

yeah whatever.
Toe picks and 720's never came into this. Handedness never got involved either. Handedness will influence you, but as it's not relevant, I don't care.
Actually looking back at it, my original post doesn't seem that vague. Then coleman got confused and seemed to think that I cared about skating or snowboarding or whatever surfing rip off he happened to be doing these days.
Muscle memory doesn't work that way. The brain already has a copy of the way to do a movement, it just needs to get it to work for the other side. Which is why I can write with my left hand, since I've never actually sat down and practised.
I love mirror neurons.

granted the brain has a copy of what is supposed to happen, but if the muscles arent accustomed to it, bad things can happen

you aren't confused - that's the whole point right there
excuse me for being a complete rip off but i think i might just paraphrase what you said and them post a grouphug smiley before i go to bed...
you can learn tricks the other way - a lot of them to the same level as your natural side.
once you've properly learnt them they aren't any harder to perform than the same thing on your natural side.
but some tricks are so hard that the fact that you've been left or right footed/handed/toe'd (shout out to the toe crew) all your life means you probably won't be able to learn/be able to ever do them to the same level on your other side.
[disclaimer]
this is due to not having the time to invest in or the commitment to learning them properly on the other side.
for firenice to learn that trick to the level he's talking about on his unnatural side it could take complete devotion for the next ten years - physical therapy and gym and all all that stuff as well as loads of skating!
ergo: doing a really hard trick switch *is* harder
[disclaimer #2]
harder may be translated as 'takes sh!tloads longer to learn and therefore is more impressive and should be given more respect'.
if: not realistically having the time to invest = being too lazy
(which it probably did because meg was just saying it to be funny and to get a discussion goin)
then: i agree with you meg.

Muscle memory argument response: In the words of the onion, "holy [censored] [censored]!" I didn't realise each muscle of my body had a small brain in it remembering what it's learned to do! My god A-Level biology really was slack! When they say muscle memory, they must really mean exactly that huh?
I'm real glad my muscles know how to remember things. Next time I remove my brain for cleaning, I'll get my heart to remember to beat, my lungs to remember to breath and my larynx to continue to function, just so I can keep talking crap.

That's fine dude! It's just not called muscle memory cos the muscles remember it! It's called it cos it sounds cool, and gives an immediate idea of the concept, not cos you have a memory nodule in your muscles. Which is the immediate idea given to me by your post.
Why do I always have to explain? I'm obviously not practised at being sarcy.

I don't get it... um... I mean, OK, the incorrect title thing I get, that was funny, but the wondering if people like me... that's not a pet peeve of mine is it? *Scratches head* No... I can't recall ever having jumped on someone for wondering if people like me.. the questioning what I want out of staff... see now that sounds like something I would do from my poi posts... which contradicts the 'incorrect thread title' which is something that I wouldn't do... and the horrendous amounts of smileys... hrmm... that sounds like something I do as well...
I think what you meant to say was either:
1) "I'm off to make a thread with an incorrect title, yell at people who theorize about the purpose of poi and ban all smiley faces"
Which would have been funny becuase that's all the things that would bug me.
OR
2) "I'm off to yell at people who make incorrect thread titles, then I'm off to start a thread wondering what I want out of staff, while posting a sickening amount of smileys"
Because that's being sarcastic AND making fun of me.
I still don't get the 'wondering if people like me' bit because I generally don't care about that. And you didn't say it strong enough to have been sarcastic.
See if you switch between being sarcastic and not being sarcastic in the middle, it fails to make sense.
It's like trying to do a frontside and a backside 180 at the same time.
