Goofy vs Regular

Ok,so one of the most discussed topics: goofy or regular? I myself am a goofy, so one point for them :D

Believe it or not, but studies have been done on this subject & apparently most guys are regular & girls are usually goofy. I have spent idle moments in lift lines pondering this & it seems to be true.
Yeah, I’m goofy. All the guys I ride with are regular, including my sons.

hmmm….well, I have looked over the stances of people in competitions, and it seems like about 75% of the people are regular and about 25% goofy.

I ride goofy though

And most of those people are male, because guys dominate comps. Unless of course you’re looking at a girl’s comp, like Roxy Chicken Jam.
Oh, and glad to hear you’re goofy!

yes indeed. And the two main people I ride witha are goofy too

well, doesn’t surprise me much you are All Goofy!
as far as snowboarding is concerned i have a pseudo ambidexterity
i started out goofy, switched to regular, i ride switch Constantly, and those little determination techniques become inconclusive….
i doubt there is a valid statistic for gfy vs reg in snowboarding despite either gender as we are all semi-symmetrical bipeds..
finally, snowboarding should have unisex compititions if any…

well, I can ride switch as well as I ride goofy on groomed and powder, but I feel the difference when I hit jumps. Switch backside spins is where I feel it the most

i’m regular. when i think about it, when i started snowboarding 4 years ago most of us were regular, but in the last 2 years i see much more goofy than before.

I’m goofy too ,but I find it easier to do cab spins than FS spins,although switch airs and SWBS spins are f… hard for me:)

i’m regular. the hardest difference is deffenitly switch rails. Spinning regular or switch is ok. maybe i’m not that good in switch but it’s ok to try.
But to do switch bs lipslide on rails i think you have to be very good in riding switch. (f**k i would like this trick)

I’m goofy. hardest are switch bs landings in pow and doin’ handrails switch.

jep. true words, pavli spoke..

I’m regular,I’ve tried goofy but I wasn’t able… but when i skate I’m goofy…and I don’t understand why…

andreas190: maybe you’re ambidexterous..

Goofy

doesn’t matter, except kickers – rather regular please :)

yeah, centered mirror stance on a twin is the way to go.. usually tho, i’m on a directional twin and i love feeling that extra bit of longitudinal flex in the nose, coming down switch off a kicker

yeah, I have had the exact same stance on every board I have ever owned. Its always 15 and -15 degrees on center with a width of 23.5 inches from center to center plate.

Riding board with large setback on switch has it’s magic, actually I left my new board not completely centered… 0:) Do you feel like riding absolutely different style having the other leg down the hill too? I do, sometimes it’s even more comfortable riding switch. :))

yeah, its definitely more comfortable riding switch sometimes. I like it the best when I actually forget which way I ride naturally.

surprise, surprise… GOOFY
yeah, that’s really nice, forgetting how to ride natural, doesn’t happen often to me, especially on obstacles :)
but when I did the exam run for my snowboard instructor back then, I accidentally rode switch, that was funny…

yeah for me it’s the same. as i hurt my left (back) knee its often very comfortable to ride switch because of the pain.

Jasmin: yeah, I did that when I was an instructor also. I rode down the run switch early season dodging rocks and tree branches. And the only thing the instructor told me was that I needed to lean forward more or something. I think he just said that because he was giving advice to everyone.

I find riding switch fun, but usually from obstacles. I can’t really get that 100% control feeling when coming to some rail, or on an in-run to a jump. I can always feel the difference when going regular or switch.

i’m too generic to notice a difference =D
