Spin everything left, 270 onto rails naturally to the right.

Of course, that is when I used to actually do hard tricks.

I prefer sliding unnatural and spin natural on rails for switch ups and spin outs than the opposite

i'm more comfortable spinning off a rail unnatural, but cannot spin unnatural off a jump.

Switch tricks I throw to the right, forward I spin left.

I naturally slide right foot forward, but it's waaaaay easier to blind 270 out if I slide left foot forward and spin unnaturally.

Lincoln to the right isn't very odd at all, since your natural flat spin based on that would be to the left.

I don't think your lincoln loop way is really determined by your spin direction, moreso which one you try first.

Although, to do a left rodeo 5 you basically have to know how to do a lincoln to the right, so I'd say if you spin left that right lincoln is natural.

I find when I spin to the right I feel more in control, until You include grabbing, then spinning left becomes way more natural (probably because I'm right handed)

Same with me but I think it's because you can see your landing the whole time (assuming you look over your left shoulder riding switch)

just carving into a spin is really hard/awkward for me going left (natty), but i can't set without carving on all of my rightside spins.

really want to work some more on that this winter though.

Left is my natural way, but I can only cork left if I'm doing it more than a 5, right side i can do straight 9s but can't go past 5 left without corking

Strangely, 180s. Every other spin I'm more comfortable to left, but I probably throw 90% of my 180s right. Dunno why.

Same for me, I don't know what my deal is but it just feels easier going right.  Also I do all of my hand drag tricks to the right for some unknown reason.

180's, always to the right, any rotation bigger than that on jump is to the left. On rails Im much more comfortable spinning to the right though, regardless of amount of rotations.

I tend to slide rails unnaturally. I learned right foot forward, but somewhere I started going left foot forward
