Since nobody else seems to answer.. I'm not an expert, but I'd suggest you load the video up at youtube or a similar site and then post the link here.

About the stance: wider stance gives better control.

On regular I also noticed that board tends to rotate follow my hips and shoulders. Instead, on goofy, I starts to lose equilibrium, as you can see.

Where is the snow ???? :wall:
The movement looks good, but as said above, without speed it does'nt make sense !
Better to train on the slope, join our group at the beginning of January in Vallee d'Aosta

Snow is the: " notably absent" :roll: :roll:
In dynamic way is almost the same as you see in goofy rotation. Losin' edge by weight balance shiftin' on on high back and shoulders.
In fact, as you see, in one case I lose balance, without transferring rotation to the board; instead, on regular I'm able to turn the board, with centered weight.

What is your question about your movement ? You're not sure to be goofy ? Try to ride in regular position ! But not in your home .... on the snow
