I just picked up skating again(after being out of it for like 6 years) and I wanna get serious about it this time. So, i am wondering if being left footed but skating regular will effect that at all. Should i start skating goofy and get used to it since i am left footed or just stay regular. As of now regular i can ollie about a foot, almost 180, almost pop shuv it(fakie too) and get how to do a kickflip but dont spin it enough. Would it be a big set back to start from scratch and go goofy? Im just trying to plan out stuff and so when i do get better certain things wont be harder for me.
Thanks

Being left or right handed doesn't effect your skating stance.
Go with whatever feels more natural.

like everyone said, its all about what feels natural.
generally, right dominant people ride regular, and left dominant people ride goofy. but its not that right = regular, or left = goofy. its mostly just how your muscles work. the dominant side is generally the pushing foot. but it doesnt HAVE to be that way.

I write with my right hand.
I do other good things with my right hand. :)
I punch harder with my left.
I throw with my left.
And I skate goofy.
