As a kid I was trained by Austrian style skiers for GS racing .. Those guys had your shoulders pointing down hill so you can imagine my first reaction to seeing Snow Boarders who twist in all sorts of directions away from gravity . It makes me crazy to watch but I know they are having a great time.. Funny I am having the same reaction here..

I think its great your trying out new things to do with a left handed banjo ..really . Just to say weather left handed or right the banjo was designed for the hand doing the rolls or clawhammer hits to have the thumb of that hand nearest the fifth string . Its the nature of the beast . Good luck in your endeavors !!HAve fun anyways !!! Your Guy
