just trying to get a feel for which way most people naturally spin because in my group of friends im the only one who naturally spins to the right
 
at first it felt comfortable to spin left. Then after trying to learn 270 on's, i got accustomed to spinning right. So i guess i'm not the norm
 
left, rails left foot forwards. but lately I've actually been standing and just jumping and spinning right on my feet cuz i think it'll help my spin unnaturally lol. maybe I'm just retarded but if it works it'll be so worth it
 
Natural right everything. (Spins and boxes)

Left isn't that unnatural for me either though. Only odd thing is I have a hard time stopping my rotation when I spin left... Especially on boxes/rails.
 
I can spin both ways now, but naturally it was spin left off of jumps and such, right-foot forward on rails, and I'm also right-handed, and I believe that's the norm.
 
Left. Its always confused me. I'm right-handed, right-footed, and ride any kind of board with my left foot forward, but yet grind on skis so much better right foot forwarded.

and inb4 girls only spin left.
 
Since you spin left most comfortably, when you are learning how to slide a rail or box, you are going to spin left onto because that is most likely the only way you can comfortably spin, and thus you are going to land right-foot forward, which you will repeat over and over and it will become second nature, as opposed to left-foot forward which you have never practiced.

And you spin left because you have no rights hehe haha!!!
 
more people spin left naturally.

This, over time, has created a a common misconception that all people spin left and/or that rightside is invariably harder. Of course it totally depends on the skier.

Doesn't really seem to have much to do with what hand you are, just other wired shit, just like dominant leg and all that.

I started out thinking I was a right side spinner, but this was like 10+ years ago. After a serious head slam as a kid, I started to think maybe that wasn't the case, and indeed, left is natural for me.

A lot of people who spin left find it easier to look over their shoulder/spin rightside when skiing switch. Looking over my right shoulder was far more natural, which was problematic because spinning right was not. Maybe it has something to do with dominant leg or something? I have no clue, but it is strange.
 
I spin left, rail right foot forward. Weirdly enough I do mistys right (I throw my left shoulder to the right).
 
Right better switch better left but i've been working on switch right and it's coming along pretty well but i spin onto rails left and grind right foot forward
 
I think I got spinning left/right foot forward onto boxes from skating goofy, and just carried that as I progressed on jumps.

PS I'm left handed.
 
naturally to the right. i cant spin unnatural but if i hit a jump switch i can spin either way

and i grind left foot forward
 
This.

I was just used to looking over my right shoulder skiing switch, so I started spinning that way. I haven't even tried spinning left switch.
 
i spin right.. but rifht foot forward on rails. im so screwd up lol. anyways im pretty sure spinning right vs left is like being regular or goofy footed on a board
