It just depends on the person. I do most of my spins to the right, but I slide rails right foot forward and can blind out better than front. So idk.

I do the same but worse and it messed haha, picture this:

-I can spin both ways on a trampoline but feel slightly more comfortable to the right (learned my first cork to the right)
-I spin way more comfortably to the left on skis though, easier way to 2 on for me is left
-when skiing switch I feel more comfortable spinning right though

At this point I've just decided to learn everything both ways...

Pretty normal actually.

If you spin your 360s left, and your 180s right, that's kinda normal. I do the same thing sometimes, but not naturally. It helps with spotting your landing the whole way through so that's why you do it.

Yeah haha I guess it's advantageous, I have no idea how it happened though. When I started out I just did what was natural and after taking a step back I realized how weird it actually was.

I spin to the left but 180 to the right if I'm setting up for a switch hit so that I don't have to blender or look uphill.
