Definition: Switch stance, or riding switch, refers to a snowboarder that is riding backwards, or with their unnatural foot facing forward. Because most riders prefer to have a specific foot (either the left - referred to as Regular, or the right - referred to as Goofy) in front, riding switch means snowboarding with the opposite foot in front. Therefore, a goofy rider would be riding switch when he or she has their left foot in front.
Pronunciation: [swich]
Also Known As: Fakie, switch
