i think you are talking about a lib? A lib is a one legged stunt, “lib” is short for “liberty”. Anyways, usually it is best in competitions to do it on the normal leg if everyone else is. But, certain routines will have their girls flying on the other leg, or they might do a tick-tock to the other leg…etc. And in many pyramids, one of the flyers flies on the opposite leg. So, although it is not common, there are some opportunities to do it.
As for advice, I’d say just keep trying the lib on the normal leg. It is really useful and promising when you can do a lib on both legs, but the normal one is definitely preferred. I know how you feel, because I wish I could fly on the other leg too. My flexibility is really good on my right leg, but not as good on my left, so I always have trouble with heelstretches and such.

good luck!
