i used to look over my right shoulder skiing switch but when i started hitting jumps i forced myself to look over my left shoulder (i spin left) and now its natural for me - i recommend you fix that though

just practice riding switch ALL the time and then you'll get comfortable both ways.     it won't matter which shoulder you look over at that point.

if I'm going for a bigger spin I do, it's easier to wind up that way. if it's a smaller spin I look over my left shoulder. (spinning left)

nope not me....

sorry to thread jack, but does anyone spin like me? on a tramp or ground i spin to the right, but on skis and skates i spin left.

on tramps and stuff it feels awkward trying to spin left?

anyone?

I look over the same shoulder, but that's because I'm old, broken, and inflexible and have a hard time looking over my right...Nice 5 though...
