Is there a wrong way to ride a skateboard?

There is no right or wrong way to stand on a skateboard (or snowboard, surfboard, or any other board), but most people feel more comfortable riding a skateboard regular, instead of goofy. The dominant foot is often back because it is better able to control the board. Beginners should go with the stance that feels best.

Why is mall grabbing bad?

How do you stop speed wobbles on a skateboard?

Lean over your front foot and slowly let off the throttle until the speed wobble stops. Tightening the kingpin on your trucks may also help to reduce speed wobbles. Just be sure not to overtighten so you can still freely turn. Try only adjusting a quarter turn at a time.

Where should your dominant foot be on a skateboard?

When standing on a board, you'll want your dominant foot to go in the back, since it's stronger and does most of the pushing, turning, etc. If you are right-handed, it's highly likely that your dominant foot is your right foot. This would mean your left foot goes in front and your stance is regular.

Are Walmart boards good?

Walmart skateboards are bad because they use cheap material. They are fine to use a couple of times but they will wear out soon. Also like any cheap skateboard, it's a lot harder to learn skateboarding not to mention it can be very frustrating and demotivating. Other than poor performance, they can be unsafe.
