 The first sentence is incorrect, "goofy" refers to a skater's stance on the board and has nothing to do with which foot is used to push. The term "Mongo" is used to describe when a skater pushes with their front foot, so it's entirely possible to have a skater who uses a goofy stance while pushing mongo. I haven't edited the page because I'm new here and not sure what I'm doing (hi) but I'll paste here how I tentatively reworded the first sentence to be more correct and provide more information. Also Tony Hawk himself skates goofy, which feels noteworthy given the context of this comic. "In skateboarding, the term "goofy" refers to a skater using the goofy stance, with the skater's right foot at the front of the board and left foot at the rear. This is backwards from how most right-handed people feel most natural when stepping on a skateboard. Notably, Tony Hawk himself skates Goofy-footed."

 I'm way over the hill, and that linked 20 minute video on spin was the first explanation of that quantum number which seemed fully satisfactory and didn't leave me feeling like I was missing something crucial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYeRS5a3HbE&t=18m30s "The spin number characterizes how fast the state of a particle changes when we rotate it in space."

 :Spin is a terrible name, it should be "twist factor" for example. It's a derivative unit error, like calling acceleration in terms of speed. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.90.198|162.158.90.198]] 07:58, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
