Pushing off is a very important part of skating, it enables the skater to get around.
1. Place your feet diagonal on the grip tape. Try it with your right foot in front and then try it with your left foot in front.
2. See which way feels best. If your right foot is in the front, then you will be skating goofy footed. If you have your left in the front, then you will be skating regular footed.
3. Push off with whatever foot is on back. If you push off with the foot on the front, it is called Mondo Footed.
