===Board sports=== In [[skateboarding]], being able to skate successfully with not only one's dominant foot forward but also the less dominant one is called "skating switch", and is a prized ability. To illustrate the stances further; there is "regular" which is left shoulder and foot towards the front of the board and the opposite (right shoulder foot towards the front) is referred to as "goofy." These terms are also used in surfing and snowboarding. When skateboarding, whether one pushes with their front or back foot determines whether they are considered regular versus regular-mongo or goofy versus goofy-mongo. The ability to ride both regular and goofy is considered to be "switch stance".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-find-your-skateboarding-stance-goofy-foot-vs-regular|title=How to Find Your Skateboarding Stance: Goofy Foot vs. Regular - 2023 - MasterClass|access-date=25 June 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://concretewaves.com/pushing-mongo/ | title=Pushing Mongo Explained (Pros & Cons) | Concrete Waves | date=21 April 2023 }}</ref> Notable switch skateboarders include [[Rodney Mullen]], [[Eric Koston]], [[Guy Mariano]], [[Paul Rodriguez Jr.]], [[Mike Mo Capaldi]], and [[Bob Burnquist]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2022}} Similarly, [[surfing|surfers]] who ride equally well in either stance are said to be surfing "switchโ. [[Snowboarding]], at an advanced level, requires the ability to ride equally well in either stance.{{Citation needed|date=July 2022}}
