Are you goofy or regular?

This is a statistical poll, I was wondering whether or not there was a general trend to goofy footers amongst the regulars, apparently it's one in five. So just post it here guys:D

I ride regular but am left footed.

I'm right handed but play cricket left handed. I'm either stupid intelligent, or just stupid.

i used to be right footed, but my dad used to tell to to practice kicking a ball with me left, to get better, so i did and ended up bein left footed, n i can write perfectly with both hands, which is useful in an exam when one arm gets tired
