  2. What are we supposed to vote for?
    What we do? What we consider goofy? What we consider regular?
    Personally I consider riding a unicycle to be goofy.

  4. goffy and regular is a skating and snowboarding term determining which
    foot you put forward. my question was for people to say what foot they
    consider goofy or regular, but the poll is just asking which foot you
    put forward and what hand you put on the seat

    sorry, I may have made this more confusing than it has to be

  7. If anyone doesn't know:

    _Goofy_
    Is skateboarding with your right foot forward.

    _Non-Goofy_(?)_
    Is the most common skating style with the left foot forward.

    Stupid terms? Yes.

  8. non goofy is called regular.

    And there is also a style called mongoose where you push with the front
    foot... But lets not get into that.

    i learned to hop best. but i heard your better off using your oposite
    hand to foot cause it helps you hop higher??? is that totally [censored] or
    does it have some truth to it?

    That is what I do, too, so it makes sense to me.

    Another question: My dominant foot is in the back position when I jump,
    but does anyone have their dominant foot forward when they jump?

    yeah it doesn't make sense to me either but the person who was trying
    to tell me that was comparing it to running where when your left leg is
    in front you should move your right arm forward and vice versa.

    Hi,

    That's funny, i started a poll on the french newsgroup a few days ago,
    to know wether people have their dominant foot in front or not (when
    hopping). In my post i asked to if they were goofy or regular refering
    to their possible snow/skate experience.

    Up to now, 11 people actually have their dominant foot in front whereas
    5 no.

    For those who want to see the details :
