Answer 1

Say you're playing soccer.

If you kick the ball with your right foot, you're a regular snowboarder. This means your left foot is foward and right is in the back.

If you kick with your left, you're goofy. Your right foot is forward and left is in the back.

Answer 2

Its all about balance and how you use your body movement to direct you in the direction you want to go and the moves your are trying to do.don't be discouraged, keep practicing and work on that. there are videos and books out there that will educate you in special techniques and the right positions to be able to snowboard better.

Answer 3

You learned how to control your board heelside, that's the first step.  Next learn to do that on the toe edge and then learn to turn and you're set!

It takes a few days to be comfortable and in control.  It's good to keep your back straight but you need to stay loose too.

Don't stay straight down the hill, just work on being in control first.
