Switch regular or switch unnatural?

ive just been wondering about this for a while...
like most people here I spin to the left, so when i hit rails switch, I pop to the left also. But I slide rails with my right footfoward, so unless i throw a cab270 I have to slide the rail with my left foot foward. Would that be considered sliding the rail regular or unnatural? it seems to be a little of both because popping to the right would be unnatural/more difficult but sliding with the left foot would also be unnatural/more diffiult ?

i'd say it's sliding unnaty, it's really not hard to pop 90 degrees the other way and i don't really call anything between 0 and 180 degrees natty or unnatty because it's barely anything. so yeah, switch on-->unnaty slide

alrite lets do this
regular 360- spin left
regular- slide left
regular 270- spin left slide left
switch 360- spin right
switch rail- slide right
switch 270- spin right slide left
if that makes any sense

i have the same problem, when i go switch my regular on the the rail is unnaty so i've just gotten really good both ways on the rail. Im pretty much natural for both sides on rails now.

your sliding unatural but I think doing an unatural 90 would be easier than sliding a rail untatural

i do the same thing..grind right foot forward but going switch grind left foot forward. when im grinding on the rail it feels natural for me. i just call it switch and dont place any terms on it. when i grind right foot forward for switch thats when i call it unnatural cause it feels totally awkward for me and is actually really hard for me.

just learn dirty 360s and you're set. spinning right switch is soo easy once you learn them.

i dont think its the spinning part that s hard its cause people are probably more comfortable looking switch from one certain shoulder so looking from the other shoulder feels unnatural. But the unnatural thing doesnt work cause like skogen he spins to the left but does his side flips dropping the left shoulder so are his rodeos unnatural because he spins the other way NO So the unnatraul thing doesnt fucking word

I just do what srtaight feels right at the time. Ususally its a left foot slide but If i spin, I spin to the right, my natural, and slide left foot, my "unnatural". It really depends on how I'm feelinnnnngggg.

its not really that complicated. i spin left of jumps so right is unnaty. i slide rails right foot forward so left foot forward is unnaty. i spin switch right (which is wierd) but i still consider it natural for me and then left switch is unnatural for me.

Wow. Everyone made this really difficult. If you normally slide right foot forward, then when you slide left foot forward...THAT is unnatty. Learn to look over both shoulders going switch. then you wont need to slide unnatty everytime.
