Advice on stance

Question

Hello. For starters I have been skating on and off for the past few years, really only cruising around. I've pushed goofy the entire time, and my balance riding that stance is really good, where i feel comfortable making strong pushes and carving.

Recently I've started to want to learn tricks, but the issue I'm having is that I cannot maneuver the tail with my left foot at all. It feels so awkward. Practicing stationary, I was able to ollie standing regular, though, completing the full motion without much effort, but pushing is difficult, as I cannot balance on my left leg consistently, which is weaker.

So I need some advice. I plan to learn both in the long run, but for now should I continue to ride goofy and figure out my issue or switch to regular and relearn how to push and ride? Thanks
