probably been done before but i didn't see it when i search bared but didnt see anything so here it goes.  i dont see as many pros who spin naturally right as they do left. and i spin weird, i do boxes and rails and 180's left. but when i spin bigger than 180 i spin right, is that normal??. which way do you guys spin?

when I do quick spins like for jibbing and on and off rails I seem to do better/spin faster right

but when off a park jump or kicker I feel more comfortable going left for a more slow set spin and when I hop and do a 180 to start going swich or like 180 a lil bumpI usawoly go left...

I dono I'm messed up the same as you man

I spin 180s right.  Spinning them left seems unnatural.  Spins bigger than 180 I tend to spin right a little more than I spin left, but neither way really feels unnatural to me, its almost even.  Switch spins I spin naturally left though.  I slide left foot forward.

I ve spun left since day one in the park and its fair to say the more you focus/train on your natural side the more WEIRD spinnin unnatural is ... Once you begin to rodeo and/or flatspin it will be VERY clear which is your natural side ... I like doing RS 180's tho as theyr easier to ride away like a thug lookin over the prefered shoulder when landing etc ...

I also slide left foot forward, IMO right foot is WAY more common

so it seem alot of people 180 opposite their natural spin way. i also realized that i look over my right should when i ski backwards and if i hit a jump switch and do a 180 i spin right not left, it just gets weirder and weirder
