Am I goofy or regular?

Question

When my snowboard is facing north, the heels of my boots are facing left so my toes are facing right. They're pretty strait, but they're slanted a little bit toward the top of my board. Does that make sense? Am I goofy, or regular?

Answer 1

You are goofy but you stand regular!

Left foot front is regular!  If you that confused try skiing!

Answer 2

sounds like you're regular to me. basically whatever foot feels most comfortable when placed forward dictates whether you're goofy or regular. When you slide on a floor, which foot do you put first? It its your left (as you see it) you're regular. If its right, youre goofy. Youll naturally be able to tell which you are anyway by have comfy it seems.

Answer 3

I skate the same way, and my brother skates a lot, and he says it is goofy.

Answer 4

You're goofy - left foot front.

If you're just starting out, put your feet in a neutral position on the board for more stability.

(I thought the left foot front was goofy - could be wrong)

Answer 5

The way you describe it doesn't really make sense - well, you asked!  There are special terms that we use in snowboarding to help define things like "goofy".  They are not difficult terms:

1) tip (or nose) of the board: the end that is designed to go first if the board is running straight

2) tail of the board: the opposite end from the tip

Now, if your right foot is closest to the tip of th board you are goofy.  If your left foot is in front, you are regular.  

About the "slant" - we call that binding angle.  The front foot is almost always pointed a bit toward the tip of the board (typically 12 to 18 degrees).  A long time ago, beginners started with the back foot almost straight across (zero degrees).  These days, the back foot is more commonly angled toward the tail of the board (typically -6 to -12 degrees for a beginner).   The different between the two should not exceed 30 degrees.  Try a few different angles out to find out what suites you best.

Answer 6

Left foot in front is regular, right foot in front is goofy.

Answer 7

dude, here's a test to determine if you're goofy or regular.

Put on a a pair of wool socks and slide on a marble (or laminated) floor - depending on which foot you extend forward will determine if you're goofy or regular.

Good luck and Keep snowboarding!

Answer 8

Goofy is your right foot in front, and regular is your left foot in front. They ask you what foot you kick a ball with, and whichever foot it is that's the foot you put in back. I kick a ball with my right foot, but for some reason I'm best goofy, so I guess it's just your personal opinion.

Answer 9

You're very goofy.

Answer 10

It depends on which foot is in front.  Right in front is goofy and left in front is regular.  Based on your description it sounds like you are regular.

Answer 11

If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you're regular. Like someone else said if you're left foot is in front then you're regular.
