Changing from Right foot to Goofy Foot May 24, 2007 by RamenRadio I was checking out how different it is to soap goofy foot, and I'm changing to goofy foot. I find it a lot better because you get more speed, and (to me at least) it seems somewhat easier to do. I do have a question though. I have done a couple of backsides goofy footed, but I'm having just a little trouble. Can anyone help me out? Replies May 24, 2007AnthoFlex I think you were goofy from the beginning, thats why you shot out like crazy every time we went Soaping. You even told me that you were goofy but when we hung out for the first time, you were going regular May 24, 2007xJeremiahx For some reason I do better on ledges goofy. I think it is because when I grind regular I put my front foot on first and when I grind goofy I put my back foot on first. May 24, 2007RamenRadio I like doing goofy now, so I'm going to stick with it. And to be honest, I don't get why people say you feel safer when you do regular. I actually feel safer doing goofy lol. But I'm still a little iffy on the backsides. However, I can at least do a backside now lol. May 24, 2007Rynasty You shouldn't just pick either goofy or regular just because you think you should. Just do shit that is most comfortable for you. For me, I have to jump off my left foot and lock my right foot on the rail first. The only exception is when I do backside royales, because you can't go backfoot first on backside tricks. If you can, I commend you. May 24, 2007xJeremiahx Usualy when doing backsides I land with both feet on at the same time. May 24, 2007SonicSoaper Just do shit that's comfortable for you. You mean like he's doing now? May 24, 2007Page645 trav trust me stick to goofy foot it's going to be alot easier for you to do backsides. P.S. i'll help you with your backsides i do them all the time XD May 24, 2007sam you should stick to whatever feels easiest, one method is not better than the other. May 25, 2007Rynasty Yes like he is doing now. I remember when Ben of BiS started out, he went front foot first then realized later that he was better at going back foot first. I guess it doesnt matter because that way you can be good at both. May 25, 2007RamenRadio Yeah, I'm doing goofy foot because it feels better. I had so much trouble just trying to do a backside, let alone a backside royale or something. Now I can actually do a backside without really screwing myself up :D I'm definitely sticking with goofy. I definitely feel safer, and you go flying! lol May 25, 2007Page645 your doin fine trav dont worry. now all u got to do is work on your cheese graters XD May 25, 2007RamenRadio Hey hey! I don't like that! I'm already having progress with that man lol. But yeah, definitely sticking with goofy foot, it's really helping me out man. May 25, 2007Page645 your cheese graters are fine dude but mine are a hell of alot better May 25, 2007RamenRadio Oh yes, I should bow down to the soaper who can do a ufo grater lol Yeah, they are better, but I've only grinded once goofy footed. You've been doing it goofy footed for months man May 25, 2007Page645 remeber who hit the top of the bike rack May 25, 2007RamenRadio remember the person who hit the sick rails at citi bank park :P May 25, 2007Page645 who cleared the rail at beach channel????? May 25, 2007Page645 who???? May 25, 2007RamenRadio Who couldn't clear beach channel because he falls on his ass whenever he does a backside, and who is your daddy and what does he do? May 25, 2007Page645 and that is the reason y we have this forum right now May 25, 2007RamenRadio wtf? lol, I think we should stop, this is WAY off topic (at least I think) point is that I changed to goofy foot, and I LOVE it May 25, 2007Page645 im in with that dude peace May 25, 2007SonicSoaper ....PIZZA! May 25, 2007Surfaced whatever feels more comfortable to you is your stance. or you could follow these steps if you are lost... Step One Put forward whichever foot makes you feel the most balanced, controlled and relaxed in that position. Step Two Lie on your stomach on the ground as you would on a surfboard, putting your hands under your shoulders as if you were going to do a pushup. Spring into a surfing or riding stance. Try it first with your left foot forward and then with your right. Whichever stance feels better is probably the right one for you. Step Three Have someone give you a surprise shove from behind. Not only will your friend likely enjoy this, but whichever foot you step forward with first to catch your balance is probably the foot that should go in front when you Soap. May 25, 2007sam The foot you kick a soccer ball with should go behind you, thats what i did. May 25, 2007cherryman696966 its funny, i kick w/ my right and step w/ my right but in track i jump off of my left for long and high jump, so i guess i'll stay w/ goofy, i just feel more balanced in goofy then if i went w/ my left foot leading. May 25, 2007RamenRadio To be honest, before soaping, I did A LOT of things with my right foot. I don't particularly remember how I skateboarded, but I used to kick a soccar ball with my right foot because it was like my stronger side I guess. I'll try out what you said Dave, thanks. :) May 27, 2007Megashadow77 Eh, I like riding Goofy. Login or sign up to reply Username Password
