For me I only spin 1s, 3s 5s on jumps unnat and used to do hand drag corks unnat. While I cork, rodeo, and misty naturally. Anyone else experience something like this

For some reason I fell more comfortable spinning unnat switch then natural. Don’t get it at all tbh

Similar to others I spin right normally but switch left, misty left, and nosebutter left. I think it's just cause I'm more comfortable looking over that shoulder and all those tricks have some element of that.

On rails I spin way better right and on jumps or anything else I feel better spinning left, I can’t even 3 to the right but I’ve landed a handful of front 4s spinning right

I spin left but am also left foot forward. So if I wanna do a backside spin out of a rail I have to hit the rail unnatural to spin natural.

same thing happens to me, 95% of the time i spin upright on bigger jumps i spin unnat and because its easier to look over my natural shoulder but rodeos, cork, side hits, misty, and flats i spin natural.

I am better skiing switch over my right shoulder and so while I naturally spin left I have a better time doing switch spins right. I'm like 90% certain Joss also does this and that's why he did his triple at the Olympics unnatural. On a tramp I also find that my left spins always cork out while to the right I do straight up.

not unnatural, but when i throw switch spins i always set up blender. also, i learned front twos to the right before i learned how to 360, and it took me two years to find that spinning to the left feels much more natural

- sw spins: I'm to stupid to ski switch an look over my left shoulder
- underflip (can't visualize a leftside sideflip)
- railtricks like superfed (can't do an unnaty blind 4,even my 2 looks akward as hell)

I spin big 180s to the left, prefer blind 2s to front 2s (also left spin, I am right foot forward on rails) but any spin over 360 I go right. I haven't tried sw lip 2s on yet but I feel like those would be easier spun left. This fuels my theory that if you're scared to try a trick think about it switch or unnatural
