Fred Gall


But in all seriousness, the best at whatever tend to be a little bit goofy.

I don’t get it. You listed Fred Gall then said, “but in all seriousness”, like it was a joke.

Good call. I did.....The more i think about, though, it in all ways, Fred Gall is the answer. He is a little bit goofy

Although I'm regular footed, my favorite styles are usually goofy footed, and when I play SKATE3 I skate goofy.  ;D

But hey, if some unknown dude shows up out of the blue and casually nollie backside flips past the poles all the way to the street at Wilshire, first try, no camera... then maybe we can replace Tom Penny as the GOAT. Adjusted for inflation, that's how far ahead someone would have to be to have the same impact Tom did (and it still wouldn't since we've become used to seeing massive hammers done smooth). Skills for their era is relevant. Regular wins until someone outdoes Tom Penny 1994.

Goofy footers are the same assholes who celebrate Left-Handed Day. We get it, you're "different", now kindly fuck of.

Best ambidextrous skater in terms of stance?
Janoski ?
Zigram?

Even though this is the dumbest thread ever, I would have to say Worrest is up there in ambidextrousness in terms of stance. Chad Tim Tim is OK too.

Not really, thought. Regular to goofy is like a 60/40 split, right to left handed is 90/10.

I'm regular and lefty. I really want to post a legit survey on eye dominance, stance, and rotation preference, though.

I think your time would be better spent focusing on things that aren't completely meaningless.

I could go back to working on my dissertation, but I'd rather research things like this. Too bad there are no degrees in skate stance theory.

here's a question: What stance is Felipe Nunes?

Stylistically he's goofy. Most of his tricks seem to be right shoulder forward, for example when he did the loop.

Mullen is regular

Quote from: I sniff my own butthole all the time
2nd vote would be for PJ. sometimes it is a fine command of the english language to say nothing and he extended that to skating. PJ's plan B part is the emperor's new clothes.

Mullen is regular
nah fam he checked out from team regular, 'member? i can't recall specifically what magazine i saw the ad in, but i vaguely remember an ad wherein he declared he was officially goofy footed. i'm not on nearly enough stimulants to think it a good idea to go rummaging through my old magazines to find it, but you can find a few related things online:



https://www.vogue.com/projects/13456298/rodney-mullen-debut-new-tricks-stanceless-360-degrees/


i think he refined his ideas later on that more accurately described his goal as being something more akin to what i can only describe as 'stance-fluid' (some sort of forced ambidexterity)? i think ted talk era Mullen came not long after. who's to say which camp has his allegiance? this thread is beginning to remind me a bit of the whole racial draft sketch from Chappelle's show

few moar links:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Mullen#Stance_erasure
https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=54269.0
the interview talking about his hip problems and stance is in this issue, you can read it online.  it's one of the best interviews i've ever read.

^pretty good interview i just read, starts on page(s) 36-37.

we've got James Craig but he's still pretty goofy so we can give you guys him and then we win by default
