When you push off with your right foot that is switch. Which is your weaker leg. It is very good to practice equaling this out because in the long run it is good for your skating when you learn switch tricks.

Nothing is wrong, it is normal.

As long as it's not mongo....ew

ok are you saying you are goofy and u push with your left foot but you trip when you push with your right?????? If thats what ur saying that is perfectly normal and you should always push with your back foot, witch in your case is your left if your goofy. Pushing with your front foot is wrong and is called mongo and alot of beginers do it but you will learn how not to.

Ride both ways and see what works for you. There's nothing wrong with being goofy, as long as your comfortable with it.

I never had this problem but some of my friends are comfortable riding, say regular, but are comfortable learning their tricks goofy. If that ever happens then you'll either have to change you normal stance or try to learn your tricks normal stance.
