What's the best way to tell if I'm Goofy or Regular Stance?

Question

I'm trying to teach myself to skateboard and I'm learning how to push off, but I need to know which stance I am

Please help & thanx

Answer 1

have somebody push you, whichever leg you put out first is the leg on your board while you push.

then you have to figure out if you push mongo (where you put your foot towards the back of the board, you have to do this by feeling.

ps-hope you don't push mongo, cause it looks lame and usually you end up sucking

Answer 2

Goofy is right foot in front., regular is left in front.  Use whichever stance feels most comfortable to you.  If you are equally comfortable, you have an advantage because some tricks require you to ride switch (opposite foot forward) These tricks will be much easier for you

If you surf, snowboard, wakeboard or slalom waterski, the front foot for skateboarding is usually the same.  There  are some people who ride skateboards one way and snowboard the other.  There is nothing wrong, it just feels more comfortable.
