I spin to the left, and I am right foot forward. I suck at back spins out of rails and I can only front 2 out of rails cause I suck at unnatural spins. Does anyone know how I can become left foot forward?

I don't understand why you think sliding left foot forward will help you with blind spins off if you "suck at unnatural spins" but there's no real technique or trick just re-learn to slide jibs left foot forward i.e. start out with boxes and small rails and work your way up.

Just practice.. It feels super weird at first - but it won't get any better if you don't practice with your left forward. Just lean forward/put more weight on your front foot than you'd expect.

If you spin left and and grind right foot forward, then a backside spin would be natural...

Realistically, your not going to be able to "switch" which way you grind. One way will always be more natural than the other. If you switch the way you grind, then you will also have trouble spinning the opposite way, and now your right back where you started. It would be best to get better at both grinding and spinning un natural. Learning all 8 with make you a better rail skier and improve your consistency as well. You will be able to back spin if you keep practicing and with that comes blind 4s, blind swaps, brittanys, etc. Visit the trick tip cult if you need some help
