More Faceshots Carving to the Right?

Since we are drowning in snow in the PNW and getting multiple faceshots in a single run... I have noticed I get more faceshots carving to the right when reviewing my Helmet cam videos. Never really thought about this until now.

My theory is that since I am left leg dominate or regular footed skate boarding, that I carve harder in a right hand turn.

Has anyone ever thought of this? or Does anyone know the truth behind my latest discovery?

I find this quite interesting and mind bottling!

Faceshots in the PNW? were you water skiing? that is the only viable explanation for these "faceshots"

The only real face shots are when you're just going straight, in really deep snow you turn so you can breathe.

As do I, crazy big shots going left, smallish medium shots going right. and of course the beautiful diving straight in face shot shooting straight up

you guys realize that there is a barren unexplored landscape ever norther than the united northern states border? even has a west side to it, prime piece of realestate, right on the pacific. I experienced more faceshots this week than I have watched on pornhub my entire life.

^I am aware of the Poutine eating people to the North and spend many a weeks shredding the Great White North Every season. Us Stateside folks aren't as unfamiliar with your unforiegn country as you think.

he is pointing out the part were we don't get the rain Washington does, and we are still more pacific and north west of most of the skiing in the states. sooooo, the PNW isnt all rain, just your part of it.
