Am I a goofy spinner?

Hey NS, looking for opinions and personal teqniques....I notice that most people have their right side of their body facing down rail when hitting jibs, and grinding rails. I feel normal spinning left, and have always normally spun left, but decent at spinning right, but on rails when I hop on I spin so that my left side is facing down the rail (so I spin right, when I am just turning 90 degrees on) But otherwise I spin left when doing 270's and 240's etc. onto the rail. Does anyone find this weird?, or anyone do the same thing?, should I keep doing it or change?, What do you guys do?
 
doing unnatural 2s on to rails is easier to land, because you should be landing the way you naturally ride rails. For me, I have a lot of trouble doing unnatural spins on to rails, so I've gotten good at riding them unnatural.

but yeah, sometimes you don't spin the same way for different tricks. When I spin on axis, rightside is always more comfortable. But for rodeos, misties, flatspins etc I spin left, and I seem to be indifferent to corks (both ways feel natural, but I can only cork 3 rightside)

for people like you and I, it is a good idea to learn tricks spinning both ways.

learn tricks in whichever direction you feel most comfortable, then learn unnatural later.
 
It depends on the person cause I spin natural onto rails for 270s and I land unnatty. I've tried spinning unnatty but i find it a lot harder than just grinding unnatty. and it makes 450s a breeze since I land natty.

to OP: no your not goofy, all of my friends spin left and grind left foot forward. I'm the only one that spins left and grinds right foot forward
 
Everyone has a few weird little idiosyncrasies about their natural direction spinning. I find left 180s and rodeo 5s really uncomfortable for some reason, but everything else is left natural.
 
i slide right foot forward, spin left on jumps and spin right in pipe, everyones different
 
word me too.

what I meant was

natural spin on=easier rotation/harder to land properly

unnatty spin on= harder rotation/easier to land and spin out of.
 
this... who gives a shit? there is not a right or wrong way to spin... spinning is spinning.

The only wrong way to spin is if you go inverted when your not trying to and land on your neck, etc.
 
I spin left but am more comfortable left foot forward on rails

but I can go both ways
 
This seems kindof relevant, when I spin on axis I spin to the left, but I feel way more comfortable doing corked spins to the right, anyone else do this?
 
+1 to everyones different..

i spin left naturally, slide RFF naturally, 270 to the left and slide RFF, but when i hit rails switch i feel more comfortable sliding LFF because im popping to my natural side.
 
i spin left onto rails, i spin left while corking, spinning regular, and doing rodeos/flats.

however, when doing simple pop 180's, like the kind you do before you approach a jump switch, i always do those to my right.

random as fuck.

also, blindside 2's out are easier for me than frontside 2's out.
 
thats what i do i spin towards the right with my left foot first, im alright with my right one forward but i need to work on that this season
