well first of all there is no sch thing as a bowlegged turndown. there is a trick called a bowlegg and a trick called a turndown. turndown are when your legs are straight. if there bent its just a bowleg. not a bowleg turndown. you can stoop a turndown to that low a level.

In coedie's 3rd minivid he does a stall on the coping of a bowl with the coping between his front wheel and the deck and the back wheel elevated. I don't know if he is doing one, but a turndown like that would be the bomb. A sort of nose-dive, foot on the side, stretch turndown. My opinion and thats how im gonna get mine clicked.

Yes! I can do both and bowlegs don't even feel anything like turndowns. And I think Bonner said it but they're way easier, I've been working on turndowns for ages and I did a bowleg and clicked it first try, but there was no sense of accomplishment, you know? I just think straight leg turndowns feel and look way better, and you can't say you like one more than the other unless you can do both ways.

i don't think bowleggies are easier, actually i think they're harder. also i probably couldn't do a 1 footed turny to save my life haha.

most of the people who said bowlegged are on the east coast, haha.

pretty much. alot of east coast do bowleg, and alot of the west coast do straightlegged. i dont know, it seems bowlegged lookbacks are easier. although, i think they look a bit better. i like jesses lookbacks, although i cant say coedies are ugly.
