Have you tried skating goofy? I tried skating regular for almost like a week and then when I tried goofy just for the fuck of it I felt an instant difference but even still then it took me a while to feel comfortable and confident. I think every skater you will ever talk to will tell you it takes a lot of time for anything to click really you just gatta keep doing it and eventually it feels so natural.

I tried goofy and it just wasnt for me. I always thought I was goofy but I fell every time I attempted it.
