So i skateboard and longboard with my left foot forward It is much more comfortable this way. But when I slide rails i prefer right foot forward. I also spin right.

what do you guys feel comfortable with?

Im goofy, so right foot forward, but when I do rails and stuff I turn left so my front foot is my right foot.

I'm goofy skating, and I slide rails the same way. Maybe I'm just weird

i guess theres no set way to do it. some people feel more comfortable with certain ways.

I feel like because i skate regular, I should feel more comfortable sliding rails left foot forward, but i've just always jumped on right foot forward, I can switch up alright, but i cannot get onto a rail left foot forward. mental block? maybe but i just think this season I need to try it more and more until i'm comfortable with it

I skate and snowboard regular. But when skiing I slide rails right foot forward, and spin to the left.
