i do the same thing, i can't look over my left shoulder while switch for the life of me, being able to do switch unnatural is cool, but it takes alot more commitment for me to switch directions while on the lip for a natural switch spin

^ not exactly, it might be easier for them to look over a certain shoulder, but that doesnt mean they're spinning natural

very true. I am the same way. I prefer looking over my left shoulder while riding switch, but I am a right side spinner.

You should look over the opposite should you turn ex: left shoulder right turn, right shoulder left turn.

I am actually very not amedextious, I can barely wakeboard switch, and skateboarding switch is a joke. but I can spin both ways easily, and unnat sw just seems more nat.

i can spin pretty good unnalturl, but thats cuz i learned how to hit rails switch before jumps, so i had to spin unnatural so i could grind natural.

you guys crack me up with your "amidextrouse" and "amedextious," let this be a lesson to everyone in not using words you can't even come close to spelling.
