I slide left foot forward and find it hard to grip for a blind 2 but when i do get it i spin unatty and it feels weird as fuck

Yeah it feels weird but you get used to it and then when you 2 on you can pretz 2 very easily! Also just learn right foot forward and then it makes the spin natty.

is this actually a thing for left foot forward guys? I am and i cannot blind 2 to save my children's children.

I'm left foot forward and it took me a while to nail 'em. I spin right though, so it's all natural for me to blind 2.

I can never seem to find blunt, gonna get it down next season though!

yeah but in your defense, misty 5s feel waaay different on a diving board cause you spring into it

yeah... same deal. give me a trampoline or a diving platform, or a ledge half a foot off the ground and I'll put endless misty 5's down. As soon as I put on my skis I did misty 6's. which hurt. Now I have misty, cork and rodeo 7s, but can't seem to do off-axis 5's.

screamin seamen, immanent death is all that I can conclude when even thinking of this.

Screamin seamen straight air = not that bad

Screamin seamen with any type of spin or flip involved = scary as fuck
 
Another vote for switch jumps. I spin left but like looking over my right shoulder so much when I ride switch that I spin right when I hit jumps switch. I've never spun more than a 5 switch.
