Regular vs. goofy

[Guy]

Just out of curiosity, is there an even distribution of regular and goofy ECers

[vkrouverk]

I think that in case of EC goofy vs. regular preference should go along with gender: men regular, women goofy. Otherwise jacket's windstopper will be full of snow during toeside turns.

Smart idea! Never thought about it that way...

Ah it's the windstopper that's tripping me up whenever I try to put my stomach flat on the snow . I will just have to learn regular, or buy women's jackets. Actually I was in Livigno last week and, because of persistent snowfall, the weather was rubbish for carving most of the time, so I tried riding my freeride in regular setup for one afternoon, just for fun. I was a beginner snowboarder all over again, especially with the toeside turns . That's a weird thing.

it ain't, you can go on a switch (backwards) but once regular you can't go goofy, it just doesn't work... though that I still have the feeling that I should start goofy:-) The fact that a girl is goofy or regular depends also on her boyfriend-snowboarder!
