i'm regular but left handed and i bs shuv a lot easier.. But the thing is most people do fs 180's first, and bs shuvs first. I learned bs shuvs and bs 180's first, it made them both a lot easier.

wierd.. yea i suck at bs shuvs, it feels like im writing with my left hand or something. i could never regular bs shuv on a skateboard either, only switch bs shuv or fakie fs shuv. its easier for me to move my dominant (right) foot back.

I had this same convo with some buddies yesterday. I am goofy footed and find FS easier too.

nah for me it doesnt matter. im goofing footed for everything. except snowboarding cuz for that you need your dominant foot in the back to carve

I am goofy footed and think fs shuvs are easier.

One-eyed sailor shouldn't you be goofy for wakeskating to have your dominate foot in back also?

im goofy...and yes...i had an easier time learning fs shuvs than bs shuvs. took me FOREVER to figure out how to rotate the board on bs shuvs. front side came naturally. BUT...the funny thing is...when i practice them on the carpet...rotating the board bs is more natural than fs?!?!?! go figure!

i am goofy for wakeskating and my dominant foot is in front. im a righty. im only regular in snowboarding because my right foot is dominant and i need it to carve. but im semi ambidextrerouds but not really

I agree with you that there is no reason it should make a difference, I do see a pattern though. Probably just a weird coincidence. Interesting results from this post.

Mr. Top Hat, Was that your first fs shuv an inside out? I think that would be easier for the first time rather than out in the flats. Question

i think fs shuvs are just werid like i always land them with such sketch when i pop them good lol me and top had worked on them yesterday it was fun, OldSchoolSk8er, it was his first fs shuv inside out hes been landing them in the flats for months ...

i learned front shuvs quicker but to me it seems like now learnign tricks has become easier now that ive been riding a lot. i learned shuvs like the 3rd time out wakeskating seriously and fs shuvs after a few months and when i learned them they clikced really good though like after my first one i had like 4 right after or something
