Once upon a time, snowboarding was made up of regulars and goofys.
These terms identified who had the gait with the left foot forward and who with the right. There were even boards dedicated to these two types of riders.
The evolution of materials, riders and technique has made these terms “almost” disappear in favor of knowing how to go at both speeds and use boards that allow it.
We think all of this has made snowboarding even more fun!
There may be a preference and greater confidence towards a gait, don’t worry!
We already teach beginners to make turns with both gaits and insist on improving the weaker one in more experienced riders!
So the goal is to remember to go “both“, trying to forget that you are “regular” or “goofy”.
