In my experience, dominant foot does not relate in any reasonable way to
right or left-handedness. So that could be
F B F B F B
RLRLRLRLRLR
as well... depends.

Personnally, as I am a sided-person, using this kind of rythm does NOT work
at all. My dominant foot is quite dominant, as is my dominant hand.
Comparing my juggling speed and my idling skills, I indeed tend to go
F B F B F B
RLRLRLRLRLRLRLRL
which sorts of balance the whole act. I tend to juggle reasonably fast
naturally, which is not a problem for this kind of thing as I know I don't
want to throw the clubs that far and that high... Usually, I can keep up to
thirty throws, after that I get tired/out of synch and fall back on an
`easier' 12 pattern which is only easier for my mind, as the whole
balancing act does NOT work.
