If you are going to try out snowboarding, the first thing you need to figure out is your stance on the board -- goofy or regular. If you put your right foot towards the front of the board, you are goofy. If your left foot goes forward you are regular. If you have ever ridden a skateboard or surfed, whatever foot you put forward then is the same foot you'll put forward on your snowboard. But a lot of people who try out snowboarding have no idea which foot they should put forward. If that's you, here's a quick test to find out.

Stand up straight and have someone push you from behind. Whatever foot you put forward to stop yourself is the foot that you should put forward on your snowboard.
