I do. I’m also regular footed on any other board sport… I don’t get it but it feels right having my right foot back.

Lefty gang.

I do everything right handed/footed other than kicking a soccer ball and hitting rails. Tf type of ambidextrousness do I got going on.

I do for lip blind tru.




But honestly I am right foot forward and love going lip on, if I am not doing a trick it just makes me feel good for not doing nothing.

You gotta practice both sides so you can hit anything from any direction.

Same same. I dunno if it’s from growing up skateboarding being used to my right foot in the back on 50/50’s that I just associate it with how it should feel on skis or what.. can’t spin left to save my life.

My favorite is when there is a nice rail that only has a lip on the right side and I can tell all my leftie friends to suck it

I used to skip every feature that didn’t have a lip on the right, but then I learned how to lip, hit switch, and slide left foot forward (we are talking 10+ years ago). It got to the point where I’d rather figure out how to hit a feature than skip it every run just because it was set up differently.


im pretty comfortable sliding rails both ways, it took a lot of practice over the years but even doing an unnatural straight slide feels like a banger for me these days.

People that slide rails right foot forward, but don't snowboard or skate goofy make no sense to me.
I don't care if you naturally spin left, you are turning 90 degrees, it shouldn't have any affect on which foot forward is more comfortable.

I do kinda like seeing places do 2 down rails in a row with a lip on one side of each. But that's kind of a novelty.

And yeah my thoughts exactly
