same for me.. you should just learn oppo for the sake or progression anyways.
but anyways, im fine how i am. i technically oppowhip, oppo air when i briwhip\cup but it dosent really bother me. also stance should become second nature to you eventually to the point when you can throw from any stance, even crossfoot and waffle etc.

theres no such thing as opposite, how could you bartwist regular? you can bartwist to the right or the left, opposite is what stupid people call frontside, don't be silly, just do what tricks you like

Lemme just say that the term "Oppo," or opposite, can only apply to bartwists, barspins, and scooterflips.

You bartwist, barspin, or do scooterflips naturally with one hand, and then if you learn how to do them with the other hand then it is an "Opposite" bartwist, barspin, or scooterflip.
Those are the only instances where it is acceptable (mildly) to call a trick opposite.

You can only spin frontside or backside and you can only tailwhip or heelwhip. You cannot opposite tailwhip or opposite spin. It is ignorant to think of a heelwhip or a frontside spin as opposite.

yea oppo is NOT for spins or whips. only for scooterflips and junk.
if you ride regular, goofy tricks are SWITCH, not oppo.
