Normal Stance

Quote:

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.

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...

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 · 07-21-2006

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
