Do I have a problem?

Well here's the scenario. I am left handed writing, right handed throwing, left footed kicking, and I spin to the left. Ok well when I start grinding rails in the upcoming season, my left foot goes forward. So that means I will spin 90 degress to my right(which is unnatural). So can I spin to my left to get off of the rail? I don't see many do this so that is why I am asking. Should I just train right foot forward or what?

ride it the same way you would jump on a skateboard...heres how you practice...put a skateboard in front of you and run and jump on it...that is how you slide a rail...you have to be as balanced as you would on a skate as you would on a rail...

you can spin any way you want to get off the rail. Just do what feels natural at the time.

mckeeman thats not true

when i first started, i ground right foot first, because it felt more natural. then i tried it a few times left and it was just as easy, now i can't grind right first.

do whatever is comfortable to you. last season i could only spin to my left, but this season i can only spin to my right, but when i do misties off a diving board i can only do those to the right.

When i 'jump'on a skateboard i normally think about hich foot goes forward. I ride goofy footed but i can ride switch and fakie just as well.

Had trouble deciding which foot to put forward. I slid goofy but can slide switch no prob


Doesn't really solve your prob but i had to just show off

stand in front of your friend, have your friend give you a push, what ever foot you stop yourself from falling with is the foot you should slide forward on rails with.

I don't know how well that works if you know it in advance, its better if its like a sneak attack you know, that way you aren't mind fucking it to death before hand.

i do believe i may be the most fucked of all. i write with my right, spin to the left left, skate regular(left foot forward), throw right, play lax lefty, play hockey righty, lincoln to the right, rodeo right, misty to the left, snowboard goofy, and jib right foot forward, but when i come in switch to a rail i spin unnatural into it

In response to DS90210, Skateboarders both grind and slide. You grind on the trucks ie:nosegrind, crooked grind ect. And you slide on the board ie: noseslide, boardslide ect.
