Switch foot refers to switching the movements of the feet. In other words, the position and movements of the front foot are done by the back foot, and vice versa. In switch foot, a regular footed person (one who travels forward on the skateboard with the right foot on the front of the board) moves and performs tricks as if he was a goofy-footed person (where the left foot is on the front of the board), and a goofy-footed person acts like a regular-footed person.

First you need to know if your goofy or standard. Standard (like me) is when your left foot is the front and right foot is your back. Goofy is when your right foot is the front and your left foot is the back. Now place your back foot at the tail of the board. Next place your front foot in the middle of the board. After that your going to pop the tail but not to hard. Then slide your front foot forwards on the grip tape to even it out.
Actualy, I am goofy footed(right foot in front) and I'm right handed and I where fallen footwear. So the answer is....there really are some people like me who are goofy footed and wear fallen footwear.
it all depends on if you have more balance with your right or left foot forward. some people feel it equally comfortable making it hard to choose, when this happens think of what foot you put forward if you are about to fall and use that foot back. it will increase your balance.
