Skateboard Help about footedness.

[lyndonrakista]

Im practicing on how to skateboard here but i don't know how to properly position myself. The Regular stance says that your left foot must be on the front side and your push with the right foot. and ollie with right foot also.

But i'm goofy footed. I feel comfortable when my right foot is on front and im pusinhg with left foot(and can easily skate) and i can't balance properly when i try to do the regular(left foot on front)

So if i'm goofy footed, How will i Ollie? I'm right handed and i can't ollie with my left foot at the back. But i can Ollie with my right foot at the back. please HELP.

Lol, interesting. I'd say practice practice practice. It feels weird at first but you eventually get accustomed to that feeling. But its much easier if you try to ollie with your left foot instead of switching stance, because that involves more adjusting.

Trust me, switch Ollies aren't that hard to learn.

Maybe ill also try Nollie? right? and learn Ollie with left foot.

Well... A Nollie would suit you since you ride goofy and can jump with your right foot BUT also take into consideration that a Nollie is in fact very different to an Ollie. You know, since you make a backwards Ollie in a forward movement... Its like a Fakie Ollie. It feels different and require a slightly different technique to execute.

But your Nollies will be damn good with your situation there.
