@sk8mike older people or people with bad balance shouldn’t be snowboarding imo.

@jakzaiden , probably because you should ride with a regular stance, try it, switch your bindings.
Your suggestion is …
Your suggestion is true but it’s not practical. Also sliding across ice wouldn’t be good advice for older people, or anyone with bad balance. They’ll just bust their ass.
Also she’s not wearing shoes, and the people that she’ll be teaching snowboarding to won’t be wearing shoes either. They’ll be wearing rental boots of something. So sliding really isn’t going to work that great.
Your stance on a …
Your stance on a board is going to be universal. Maybe you were pushing mongo with your left foot on the tail, instead of the nose. If you don’t really know how to skate then don’t count that as experience.
Do you know how to link turns, toeside to heelside and vice versa? Or are you favoring an edge, like your heel edge to get down the hill?
If you’re only using the falling leaf (one edge) to get down the hill then you’re not riding in your true stance yet.
Hope that helps.
this is bad advice, …
this is bad advice, you can be pushed and put your right foot out once, then the next time use your left foot. instead do this: find a patch of ice or hard snow and with your sneakers on, take a running start and slide sideways across the ice, you will naturally take your normal position every time.

threre’s really no way to tell other the just seeing whats more comfortable for you. Im left foot but reguler. I though i was goofy cuz of that and it didnt work.
That is a horrible …
That is a horrible description. If someone pushed me from behind I would put my right leg forward because it’s stronger. But I ride regular and cannot ride goofy for my life. The best way to determine is whatever leg you would kick a soccer ball with should be your back foot.
