Skate Stance Polarities ~ ‘There’s a Yin and Yang in everything.’ 🔥☯️🔥

Here’s a fun way to conceptualize the stances and how they are polarized in the brain. ~ Yin & Yang ~

Regular and Goofy:

Regular = ‘YinYang’

Dominate / Left front leg:
Right Brain Hemisphere (yin)

Technical / Right back leg:
Left Brain Hemisphere (yang)

Goofy = ‘YangYin’

Dominate / Right front leg:
Left Brain Hemisphere (yang)

Technical / Left back leg:
Right Brain Hemisphere (yin)

The right side of the body is predominantly controlled by the left hemisphere of the brain and the left side by the right hemisphere. You’ve probably heard of the unique natures of each hemisphere so you can apply that perspective too imagine the potential differences this creates.

I have not verified this as fact but something to consider and was excited to share the idea with you!

I’ve grown to love skating both ways, switch and regular. My natural stance is goofy.

Here’s a few of my Yin Yang downhill videos and a ☯️ playlist I’ve created too.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Yin Yang and the different aspects of the stances as well. Cheers!🍻
