I skateboard goofy but snowboard regular
My experience with skateboarding is 15+ years but I've only snowboarded a couple times
Is that weird?

My best guess is you aren’t very good at either if you do this. Your stance is based on your dominant eye, it doesn’t change by sport.

Total horseshit. For starters, my right foot is my "stability foot" and I have always been regular.

It's eye dominance. I'm left eye dominant so riding goofy feels "backwards" because my left eye is behind my nose when riding that direction and so feels less comfortable.

OP probably has what I call "fucked stance" where the direction most natural to ride (clearly regular as snowboarding will typically be much faster than skateboarding) conflicts with the way he feels most comfortable doing tricks. I've had a couple friends that, for example, would prefer to ride goofy but pop nollie/regular. This is also why I don't worship nollie/switch tricks unless that person is demonstrably better fully regular/fakie because it just means they have a fucked up stance and that's what feels most comfortable to them.

I am legally blind in my left eye yet skate and surf regular. So that theory is thrown out. And your friend .. was doing fakie ollies so you dismiss switch/nollie?

The majority of people are right eye dominant and the majority ride regular

Your stance is determined by which side of the car you sat on as a child

not /xs/ related but is it true that if your dominant eye is not the same as your dominant hand you have no chance at competitive shooting?

Many of the greatest athletes succeed despite their physical and technical limitations, such that they often add new techniques and pedagogy to their respective disciplines.

Regular is left eye dominant, idiot. Your dominant eye is literally the one that's in front while riding. There are more goofy footers than you realize and a lot of shitty regular foot riders because they're too stupid to realize they're going backwards.

Sounds like a couple of copers that always skate "switch" but can't do shit "regular".

I don't think so, I'm left eye dominant and right handed and fucking shred targets. I do prefer to close my left eye while shooting, though. IMO shooting is more about steadiness than anything. Depends on what shooting you're doing as well, though, clays and stationary targets are two different things.
