LAMEST term in all of skiing

By far the lamest term in skiing is "unnatural". I am amazed that no other term has ever made its way to be more recognized than this shitty one. Concluding this, we need to create some other term for this. I have no ideas but there must be something better than this. Please inform me of something better.

i have two ideas or suggestions. either  " irregular" or possiblly "S.T.Y.L.D.S." which is an acronym that stands for spining to your least dominint side. i think its actually kinda catchy

or what is better is just saying for example i am going to do a left side and most likely the person will know you mean that is your unatural spinning direction since you usually don't announce the fact that you are spinning regular.

I really think we should use nautical terminology for grabs. Bow grabs(tip)? Stern grabs(tail)? Fore? Aft? These are way cooler than what we have right now.

I'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with you. Epic is a pretty epic word man.

uh....rightside....leftside works pretty good. If you wanna yap about tricks while on a rail/box or getting off one...front / back side can work too. Un-natural just shouldnt exist.

a couple of you kids don't understand, natural is the way you feel comfortable spinning. So changing it to left/right, clockwise/counter, would not do anything.

It doesn't need to be changed because it is your natural way of spinning, and your unnatural. It is what it is.

You know, if there's one thing that really proves how far behind snowboarders we still are in some aspects, it's the whole "unnatural" concept.

Boarders just laugh when they hear that skiers are only "comfortable" spinning in one direction.  

"Unnatural" should only apply to older dogs who spent at least 10 or more years spinning only one direction before newschool hit the scene.  For all you current crop of kids, spinning both ways is an integral part of the sport now, get used to it and just call it right or left.

most people call it leftside and rightside not natty and unnatty.



and the term "dirty" used to mean switch and unnatural. riding dirty is the stupidest fucking thing ive ever heard of. call it switch fakie backwards whateverthefuck but just NOT riding dirty. so wack.

pretzel is just spinning the opposite way off of the rail that you got on the rail. you can do a blindside pretzel. theres not really another way then frontside/backside

rightside and leftside are the way to go.  besides "gnar" or "pow pow" are the lamest terms in skiing

Noooooo! That does not do it.

People are more comfortable spinning left while others are more comfortable spinning right.

Unnatural is the most perfect term for the trick. It doesn't have to be changed.

As well as blindside, please, don't change it with backside, thank you.
