How to tell if you're regular footed or goofy?

Question

Snowboarding... don't know if I'm left or right foot forward.

Which is which? Is it left forward = regular?

Any advice on how to tell would be fantastic :) thanks

Answer 1

left forward is regular right forward is goofy!

Answer 2

yeah, left foward = regular and right foward = goofy.

If you want to find out if your regular or goofy, you can just stand, spread your legs shoulder width apart and have a friend or family member lightly push you from behind. Whatever leg moves first is the one that goes foward

Answer 3

Set a skateboard in the grass, or any type of object in that general shape. Run up to it, jump, and see which way your body naturally wants to turn.

Answer 4

The best way (by far) to determine your stance: slide on a hard floor in your socks, which foot is in front? Left foot in front - Regular stance, Right foot in front - Goofy stance.

If you are one of those rare people that both ways feel just as comfortable, then just pick a stance - you are lucky and you should learn to ride both directions at the same time.

Good Luck

Answer 5

Whatever foot you step forward with first is the foot that should lead. Have someone lightly push you from behind. Whatever foot you put forward first is how your stance should be.

Goofy is right foot forward. You would think that only lefties would stand that way, but that's not true. I'm a lefty and I stand with my left foot forward, like most people.

Answer 6

Left foot in front - Regular Footed

Right foot in front - Goofy Footed

I'm personally Goofy Footed when it comes to skateboarding and Snowboarding.

Answer 7

slide across the floor with socks on.

left-regular

right-goofy

Answer 8
