Snowboarding Tips: Goofy Foot or Regular?

Video Transcript

"Alright. In snowboarding there is two different stance positions. You could be goofy or you could be regular. Goofy is when your right foot is in front and you feel most comfortable that way. Some people don't feel most comfortable that way and they are regulars. They ride down the mountain with their left foot forward. A good way to tell if you're goofy or regular, what you need to figure out before stepping foot on a snowboard, renting a snowboard or anything, because that's the direction you need to know. Is if you are standing here and you have someone push you from behind depending on what foot you take forward first, say I'm taking my right foot forward step. That means most likely I'm going to be putting my right foot in forward and that's going to be my upright position down the hill. I'm going to be goofy, since my right foot is forward. I am a goofy footer. Let's say I'm standing here, someone pushes me and my left foot goes forward. So, my left foot is most comfortable in front of me; as you tell that is what caught me, so that's how you can tell if you're goofy or I mean regular. A regular stance is with your left foot forward. So, there's two different ones goofy and regular. Goofy is with the right foot forward and regular is with your left foot forward."
