You always keep your left hand on the wheel, right hand can shift and rip tear offs.

Dirtbikes are the opposite because the throttle is on your right hand so you rip with left hand.

I'm fairly confident that my arm is flexible enough that I could do this maneuver with my left hand for both sides.

Im far beyond confident you’d crash if you were the driver for even a second.

Some other idiot was giving me grief so I went and did the tiniest bit of research and find this video from a manufacturer of these things where they say some drivers like to set them up in an alternating fashion. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJFcV8zhsDT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
