> Also, she had to learn what it meant to ride “goofy footed.” It’s when you ride a board with your right foot forward instead of your left. “Oh,” Shaunda says. “Well, I am left-handed.”

I am right handed but would ride a skateboard the same way. I never even tried with my left foot forward. Even visualizing it feels wrong. I wonder why this is the apparently uncommon stance? Some people I think prefer to use their dominant foot to push, but it’s easier to keep my balance when my dominant foot is on the board.
