I learned lincolns both ways but I am having some serious trouble with other rotations. Any help is appreciated!

Practice the rotation on to your back first, then slowly just set the same, but go bigger and let them float all the way around. I did this for about 2 days and learned unnatural rodeos and cork sevens almost on accident.

Also, watch your "drift" be patient, set the trick after you leave the tramp or you have a tendency to go flying.

practice normal spins both way. when you're comfortable both ways do some back drops

Learning an unnatural trick is basically like learning the natural trick, just take all the precautions and commit.

Non of my axis are identical doing them left and right. Spinning left is natural for me. My body cannot physically right cork, it just won't happen no matter how hard I try. I do have some funky right side rotations that are very fun though. It may just be the way I spot them that makes it feel completely different.

i actually started spinning everything to the right, and like a year later i realised that my "natural" way of spinning was to the left

I just did the trick I wanted to learn the natural way first and focused on the feeling and how I set it. From there just do your best to imitate that but in the unnatural direction. It will take awhile to get used to the feeling but once you get it things improve quickly. So far I've managed to learn unnatural cork 7 through 10, flat 3 through 7, lincoln, and underflip this way. Also it helps if you can film yourself so you can see what you may be doing differently from when you do it your natural direction and try to correct it. Hopefully that will help a little bit with the learning process.
