hey guys i was just wondering where you put ur feet when you skate. i tend to have one foot all the way back on the board and the other one near the front. is this right or wrong and how do you guys ride?

i guess you can put your feet in any position that feels right. i ride with my back foot on the back of the board and my front foot a little past the middle of the board. but of course i can move them if im going to slide so that the board spins on the middle and not the fins.

For lipslides, wake to wake, and ollie 180s I usually have my feet near each end of the board. However, for shuv-its I bring my front foot a few inches closer to the middle of the board.
