SNOWBOARDiNG QUESTiON PUNKSS!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

if most poeple are right handed/footed......... (ive been playin soccer since i was 3 - right footed people are more common).......why do the majority of riders lead with their left foot.... i read that ur strong foot leads.......so wouldnt most people ride goofy?

like me:)

Answer 1

What everyone else said is true, but not everyone who's right-footed/handed rides regular. I kick a ball with my right foot, but ride goofy. When I went snowboarding for the first time, the girl at the rental counter tried convincing me that I should ride regular based on the fact that I kick with my right foot, but from my little experience skateboarding, I knew that riding goofy would feel more natural.

Answer 2

Your  "strong foot" is actually the back foot in boardsports.  

It is your back foot that initiates turns, not the front foot.  

This can be a little confusing to beginners.

Answer 3

I think you have it backwards  - the dominate foot goes in the back. I am right handed and my right foot is in the back skate boarding, water skiing, windsufing and snowboarding.

Answer 4

I get more control with my right foot on the back of the board (skateboard, surfboard, snowboard and wakeboard). That's where most of my weight is even though they say you're supposed to be balanced all the time.
