There is a reasonable explanation for this, and it has to do with one half of your brain controlling the other half of your body, but it can be changed.
Basically any wiring in your brain can be “trained” to do something else.

For example

You can move your fingers independently of each other.

If you taped two of your fingers together for an extended period of time, which meant that you would only ever move them at the same time, when you finally take the tape off, you will not be able to move those two fingers independently. They will only be able to be moved at the same time. This is because the neurons in your brain that control these two fingers are right next to each other in your brain map.

You can “retrain” them to work independently again, but it will take time.

Another example is that if you were to wear upside down glasses for 2 weeks straight without taking them off, so that you can only see things upside down, your brain will adjust and you will be able to do things as though you can see regularly. When you take the glasses off and can see normally again, you will need to retrain your brain to do everything again.

It’s very interesting stuff :)

So what I’m saying is, you could train your brain so that you can actually do the 6 without your foot switching directions.

Thats true, babies are born with upside down vision, so if their great grandmother drooling over them isn’t bad enough, the babies are looking at them upside down, enough to scar them for life don’t you think?
