I think that's reverse actually.I ride left foot forward and goofy on skateboard. At least I'm consistent.
I meant doing everything backwards.I think that's reverse actually.
Goofy foot on a skateboard is right foot up front.
same.It doesn't matter. Ride whatever way feels comfortable. I'm right handed and ride left foot forward.
No, not usually. You'll see Aitken and some others switch foot positions for different tricks, but most don't.Do people switch foot possitions if they are going to 360 the other way they are used to?
Like the others have said, it doesn't matter. Just do what feels right.
For the record, here are what some of the "foot terms" mean on bike:
Goofy Footed = spinning or naturally airing on a quarter in the same direction as your forward foot (which usually means kicking out/whipping/tableing to the direction where your back foot doesn't push). So, right foot forward, spin/air clockwise = goofy footed. Left foot forward, spin/air counter clockwise = goofy footed.
Some people also use a term called sh!t or d!ck footed. I'm pretty sure that means doing every thing regular or goofy, but you run your pegs and naturally grind on the opposite side from "normal." So, a regular footer who is right foot forward and runs his pegs on the left would be sh!t/d!ck footed.
None of this really matters, but you might run into some bmxers talking about it and now you'll know what they're saying.
That's just goofy footed, if by spin to the left you mean counter clockwise.Dude I'm Goofy and S/D footed, by your definitions.
Left foot forward, I spin most comfortably to the left, but grind on the right. I'm right handed.
Haha... we'll call that dank footed.I ride left foot down, right foot up.
Yes, I'm definitely goofy footed but I also run my pegs on the right side, opposite of my left foot forward -meaning I'm also d!ck footed?That's just goofy footed, if by spin to the left you mean counter clockwise.
I'm goofy footed. It doesn't matter for most tricks, but I have noticed little things like it seems that regular footers can learn inverts easier, but goofy footers can learn one foot tables easier. Also, goofy footers would do 360 lookbacks, while regular footers would do 360 turndowns (unless you're doing something crazy like foot switching or opposite rotations).
The way that I've heard it explained, that would just be goofy footed, not d!ck footed. If you were left foot forward, goofy footed, and ran your pegs on the left, that would be d!ck footed.Yes, I'm definitely goofy footed but I also run my pegs on the right side, opposite of my left foot forward -meaning I'm also d!ck footed?
I have noticed that some tricks are definitely different for me than they are for others, its why trying to watch someone and learn from their style is hard.
if you got a D.F. setup, the only saving grace would be sweet downside 50-50s and icepicks.The way that I've heard it explained, that would just be goofy footed, not d!ck footed. If you were left foot forward, goofy footed, and ran your pegs on the left, that would be d!ck footed.
Think of it this way, if you go up and carve a quarter in your natural direction (which for you should be the left), you would stall on or grind the coping on your right side, which is normal. But, if you only had pegs on the left and preferred grinding on the left, that would be sh!t or d!ck footed. It's confusing because for a regular footer, having your pegs on the opposite side of your front foot is sh!t/d!ck footed, but not for a goofy footer.
