so ive been trying some spins this year, and i cant tell which way i naturally spin, i go on boxes both ways and both feel right, when i spin 3's off jumps i still cant tell which way is my natural spinning, is this just because i just started spinning, or is there any way i can figure out which way is natural for me?

If you don't notice a difference your lucky.  Just keep spinning and if you notice one way is easier than another that is your natural direction.  But hell keep spinning both ways.

you can find out if you try a bigger spin like a 9 on a trampoline. on a trampoline i can do 10 left but only 5 right

It seems a lot of people spin left.
Usually people who are right side dominant (aka you write with your right hand, and kick a ball with your right foot)

as this side is stronger, so you use it to get your spin going.

at least this is my theory.

im kinda like that only on jumps. if theres a lot of lip and its steep or if i want to cork it, then i go leftside. but if im just doing normal spins its rightside. and if im switch then i doesnt matter which way i spin (maybe coz i play hockey?)

i learned 1s, 3s, 5s while spinning right and thought that was my natural spin until i got on a tramp and realized left was way easier. feel like i kinda wasted all of last winter but left comes way easier now

Yeah for me I have spun left my whole life, and while tramping I realized I'm unable to spin left without corking, but can spin right up to 10's pretty easily.. now I feel like spinning to the right is the easiest thing in the world and left just seems awkward, but still do-able. Wish I had figured it out sooner though.

I am in the same situation, and from experience 3s or even 5s feel the same both ways.  when trying bigger spins, that is when you will find your natural side.  for most it is left, but you may be right because you were instantly comfortable going right
