As in skateboarding

 Skateboarding-style foot positioning is the norm. 

With one wheel beneath each foot, proper foot positioning on a caster board is essential. To skate correctly, one must arrange their feet so that their front foot is ahead of the center of their front caster and their rear foot can push with enough force to maintain the board balanced. It is recommended to let the back foot no less than two seconds to settle into a comfortable position on the board, as any less will make it more difficult to obtain a good foot placement. More seasoned riders will have a quicker back foot placement. To execute a manual, place your back foot on the tail end of your deck and don't let go; then, elevate your front foot slowly and carefully.

When the rider realizes that their foot placement may be improved, they can swap out both feet at once without having to stop what they're doing on the board. To achieve this, the rider must first ensure that they are traveling at a regular speed and that the riding surface ahead is stable for riding on, and then leap with both feet at a minimal height that allows both shoes to separate their treads from the grips of the caster board. As long as the rider is moving at the correct pace, they are allowed to "hop about" the board in an effort to find the optimal footing. It's possible that hopping around is much easier than getting off and back on the board to obtain better outcomes. Trying to fix only one foot at a time while riding is significantly more challenging, since it increases the risk of shifting one's weight too far forward or backward and falling off the horse.
