The Best Skateboarding Stance

Maybe you haven’t thought about this before, but you need to figure out which skateboarding stance is right for you! There are 2 skateboarding stances: Regular stance, and Goofy stance. The difference is simply whether you’re right footed or left footer. To figure out which stance is best for you, simply find out which foot you’re more comfortable with being in the back. If you can’t figure it out, do the following simple tricks to find out:

• The Ball Trick – Get a ball and simply kick it. If you kicked it with your right foot, you’re Regular. If you kicked it with your left food, you’re Goofy.

• Staircase Trick – Come up to a staircase and walk up. Which foot did you step with first? Right foot means you’re Regular, left foot means you’re Goofy.

• Push Trick – For this trick, ask someone to unexpectedly push you from behind. Hopefully, you will not end up with a nosebleed. Instead, see which foot reacted first to stop you from falling. If it was your right foot, you’re Regular. If it was your left foot, you’re Goofy.

Hopefully, by now you have found out which stance is right for you. There is no RIGHT stance, you can learn to skate Regular, Goofy, or both. The best skateboarding stance is the one that you like best.
