i skateboard goofy and i spin naturally left... but does anyone else find it doesn't really make any difference which way they slide on rails? i mean i prefer to spin left on to them but it doesn't really matter to me which way i slide..

i skate regular and my natural side on rails is right foot first. i think if you start to do rails it's a huge difference which way you slide, but once you learn switchups and 270 ins, it starts get less important.

Crazy Fool

i think its because when skating your just pushing, but i assume that most of you who slide right foot first also spin to the left. and thats how you learnt is spinning naturally 90 degrees. i spin right and rail right foot forwards. and i skate goofy. its a very right side oriented thing.
