Normal Stance

A new page entry has been added:

Normal Stance

There are two kinds of normal. Depends what had you are. If your left handed then your right foot should be forward. If your right handed then you left should be forward. Choose whichever way you are more comfortable with.
If your left foot forward you are regular.
If your right foot forward you are goofy.. Good Luck!

I'm right handed and I skate with my right foot in front...

I'm a noob, so I don't know if this is a problem or not...?

No that is fine if it feels right. If it feels natural ride that way. I myself am a Right handed goofy.

[Flipoflegend]

I'm right handed and can ride regular, however, I ollie goofy. The main reason I ride regular is because i rode regular on scooters. Should I try to learn to ride goofy or learn to ollie regular?

hey...i may be a noob at this web but i've been skating for awhile...it's ok to ride regular and ollie goofy cause my friend is the same way but i told him that it's best to stick to one stance because it'll be hard to do alot of the tricks...for example, say like you wanna boardslide a rail that's low to not get nutted and high enough to do a small ollie...you would have to pedal regular and then ride switch to do that...what i told my friend was the best way to correct this is to skate in one stance...since you can ollie goofy, it's best to skate goofy...if you wanna go regular, then learn how to ollie in a regular stance...i think that solves your problem...if not, then just let me know...name's 808skater so yeah...just message me for any other problems you need help on...

p.s. if your wondering why i'm on this forum, it's because my friend needs help on the skating thing too...but he just started and he tried to go down a 4 foot ramp...busted his lip by that...lol...

[the_bunbury_kid]

Yeah dude, listen to this guy, it doesn't matter bout what handed you are, stick to what you feel right about, i skate both and im only right handed. it doesn't matter what hand u right with, you just gotta learn tricks the way u feel u can do them better, like i like dropping in better goofy, and i do flips better regular, this guy is talking bulls**t. don't listen to these people that think they no it all, you are your own person and youdo what you thinks better, don't get told what to do, skateboardings fun, don't take shite from anyone. keep skatin. chris...

[2bored2care]

i got a problem...this site says that to find your stance you need to kick a ball..which ever foot u kick it with will be ur pushing foot. and for me i should eb normal stance. but i push better in a goofy stance but when i attempt to do an olly i feel more comfortable with normal stance.. so if i can push better with goofy but do olly better with normal what stance should i be

[Im a genius]

Thats bull***** I skate regular and im right handed, Why would you make this sack of shit?

[2bored2care]

that isnt bs im really have trouble finding which stance i should stick to

[blankdude]

cool

[estsk8rgrl]

[draljo]

its stupid though there is no need for the "normal stance". you are either goofy or regular theres no normal. and wat if you are goofy and you aren't normal then wats that called its stupid there is no need for that page. just have the regular and goofy stances

normal stance is meant as nollie, fakie or switch stance.

[2bored2care]

can any1 help me with my problem =\

[blanck_decks_rock!!!]

whats your problem?

[2bored2care]

i cant find ym stance, i feel better riding goofy and im a right handed...but i feel better "trying" to ollie with a normal stance...so which stance should i use

[flip1607]

hmm, if nmormal is putting ur bad foot up front then im the opposite, i use my bad foot to push

[blanck_decks_rock!!!]

***** i dont know what to tell you.
wait, can you ollie yet? If not, just ride whats comfortable and learn to ollie in that stance

[2bored2care]

well i did my first ollie yesturday but in regular stance...but i still cant ride half decent in the stance that i can ollie in(regular) after i read all the post people tlel me to ride what i feel comfortable in and others said to the ride way i can ollie in..so im really confused lol

[2bored2care]

hmm, if nmormal is putting ur bad foot up front then im the opposite, i use my bad foot to push

bad foot as in?

[blanck_decks_rock!!!]

Wow, this is becoming really confusing to read.

[2bored2care]

lol ill make it short and clear...i can push better goofy but i cant ollie goofy; but i can ollie regular but not push regular. so idk which stance to use

[estsk8rgrl]

lol ill make it short and clear...i can push better goofy but i cant ollie goofy; but i can ollie regular but not push regular. so idk which stance to use


well you might feel better pushing goofy, but really who really feels "good" when they first start in their normal stance? you might feel shaky for a while, but you should concentrate on feeling "better" at pushing both regular and goofy, you [should] end up feeling comfortable in both stances (i hope that made sense)

[neezy]

ive been riding goofy for a really long time now but i think its harder for me to land tricks goofy, so im changing my stance to regular since i can pop harder with my right foot and its sort of like starting all over again.. any tips?

[JUNIOR6886]

This is one reason why the page said right handers should have their left foot foward. Because Goofy right handers have to pop with their left foot (which is obviously weaker than their right foot)
that being said I myself am a goofy right hander.....

[fleas]

lol ill make it short and clear...i can push better goofy but i cant ollie goofy; but i can ollie regular but not push regular. so idk which stance to use

That's kinda the same for me, i feel more comfortable riding goofy( i push it mongo though) especially riding down hills and stuff, but i do all my tricks regular. I can still ride regular it just feels a bit weirder. I drop into halfpipes goofy, i can sorta do it regualr just not as smoothly though,and it doesnt feel as good. Anyway should I try and get better at riding regular or try and learn tricks in goofy?
i think the reason for this is because i learnt to ollie regular without moving and when i started moving around on my board i rode goofy.

[trew emerican]

I heard this is a good way to kniw which you are if you're not sure. Run at the board and jump on it. Whichever foot lands forward naturally is the foot that should be forward.

[sKaTeR305]

iam lefty
i pedle with my right but when im done pedaling i put my right foot in the front is that a stance or am i doing it completely wrong if it is a stance tell me which 1

[MilkDot]

high 5 for all the right handed goofy riders....yay!!

[!ndie $kater]

Okay this is for all the people who are just learning saying "i push goofy but ollie regular" or "i push with my left foot but ride regular" that is mongo. its a very bad habit to get into. believe me. im trying to get out of it. it sometimes completely ruins you if you need speed when rolling up to a set cus you have to switch stance real quickly.if you ride regular stick to pushing with your right foot. if you ride goofy stick to pushing with your left foot

So i'm not doing anything unusual by pushing with my left foot, riding and ollieing goofy?
I mean i dont care if it is cause its comfortable :D I just thought i was the one doing it odd and my friends were right. meh?..

[spasticskater]

hey i ride goofy and am right handed and i push with my right foot and this is called mongo ay? And this is bad and i should push with my left foot am i correct?

[joe smoe]

:cool:

[goofygoofheelflip]

:-D Its kindof a problemo... unless of course it is comfortable for you.. .which would be weird.. but typically, if you are right handed, left foot goes front.. try it like that :)

[flipthemaster]

You shouldn't go by any of what the first post says. I'm right handed and I skate with right foot first (goofy). It all depends on you what your comfortable with.

[ThePyroPsycho]

i got a problem...this site says that to find your stance you need to kick a ball..which ever foot u kick it with will be ur pushing foot. and for me i should eb normal stance. but i push better in a goofy stance but when i attempt to do an olly i feel more comfortable with normal stance.. so if i can push better with goofy but do olly better with normal what stance should i be

im the same as you man, as i started to skate i never chose a stance i just use both goofy for ridin and regular for tricks, so when i ride i quickly jump off the board and get back on in regular stance and do a trick, or u can ride mongo with ur back foot on the tail and push with ur front then get on, these arent the best ways for a stance though so u could try learning how to ride regular and keep doin tricks regular, it took me a bit but i got the hang of it and now i could ride both ways and do tricks in regular :-/

basically stick with whatever you think is right. its all preferance. if u push bettr goofy, then do that. or work on pushing normal. if u ollie etter norm, but push bettr goof, then try to work on one of them so you can do everything with the same stance.:-\

[zero21]

I'm right handed and I skate with my right foot in front...

[Iskatehard]

No it is not a pronlem, which way feels better and which feel comfortable

You realize you're answering a question that's over two years old, yah?

[codycantskate]

No stance ftw

[^Anthony^]

im right handed and i skate with my right foot

im a noob so ya

[Biolink]

If you push with your Right Foot you're Regular

If you push with your Left Foot you're Goofy.

What hand you write with generally doesn't matter. Whatever feels more comfortable your body is gonna want to use that stance naturally.

[bknox77]

No that is fine if it feels right. If it feels natural ride that way. I myself am a Right handed goofy.

no its not weired at all i skate that way too

[shadowz666]

Naturally, my stance whilst skating is goofy... but as a newbie, skating for a couple of days, im learning tricks like the ollie and practicing casper.. but my stance for the tricks are regular....
any easy way of sorting this out?

[^Anthony^]

Are you fukin retarded, u dont know anything, all my friends are right handed and skate goofy.. u dont know ***** ur probly a shitty skater.. im switch 3 flipping 7's and ***** ive been skating for like 6 years... it makes no difference, its just whatever way u jusmp on the board and ride at first..
