Okay i know i should go with what i feel but i need people's opinions.

So most people on here know that i ride ski. I haven't ridden in like 3 weeks so im not used to actually riding anymore. I went to my friends house today and rode his district (same deck i have) and was trying new stances.

I tried the first basic trick, a tailwhip. I can tailwhip ski, regular, and goofy. BUT i land goofy everytime. I know that it would look cleaner if i forced my self to ride goofy. BUT hahaha, its alot more comfortable to ride regular. When i ride regular i heelwhip naturally and land goofy which is semi-sketch.

So no MATTER WHAT! im not going to revert back to ski, so i dunno what to do?

If you read, Thanks. hahaha

for me ski is the way to go, because ima flow boss. but when i throw down phat tricks i just switch up my stance for whatever trick i wanna do and bam. trick done.

doesn't really matter how good it looks, i don't do sex change tricks ever but i still can if i need to force myself... once you get good enough, you'll be able to do it however you want. for now focus on riding what feels comfortable and you'll progress faster
just my 2 cents.

just ride and do what feels natural, and as you learn how to catch better you wont do sex changes

Ski makes flow so much harder lol. Airing ski is impossible for me, I just feel like my hip is gonna dislocate from the rest of my body and fly away.
 
Ride what's comfortable. If you land goofy doing tailwhips, practice more. It doesn't mean you're goofy, it means your technique isn't down yet.

Yeah but i would be doing Heelwhips naturally, so imm ride goofy and land goofy it will become more and mroe comfortable and i wouldnt have to switch the way i grind.

I rode Ski for the longest time ever, I hated it and knew i need to ride a different way. But eventually I just sorta formed into goofy. With my backfoot on the break and front foot completely goofy, still catch my self riding away from tricks ski sometime.
