At most, you'll just need to slide your back foot towards the tail a bit so that you can apply pressure with your back foot. You don't need to totally change the way you stand if you're already in a standard skating position, though.

QuestionWhich way do you ride a skateboard, as in, does the longer tail go forward or the shorter tail?Ari Gonzales :DCommunity AnswerThere really isn't any "proper" side to ride a skateboard. It is honestly which way you feel more comfortable with but if you want to go by the rules, some skateboards have a logo mark on the grip tape you can choose to ride where the logo is in front.
