ok, so this is gonna sound really dumb, but when i ride( i'm regular stance) i use my left foot to push off. problem is it takes time to get a good riding stance when i get back on the board. any tips on how to train myself to push off with my right foot or how my left foot should be pointed when i ride?

When you push do you keep your right foot (back foot) at the tail of the board or the middle or what and when you push how do you position the foot that stays on the board?

prior40, it doesn't matter what way your foot is pointed when your pushing. You just have to practice and get muscle memory to push off with your right foot. I used to push like this switch but now I can push with my back foot.
