When grinding, is it better to lead with your strong leg or your weak leg?

doesnt matter, as long as you are 90 degrees to the rail

I grind so that I hop onto the rail in the same direction that i would spin on an air.

I prefer to do jump to rail with my strong leg in front, but when I just hop into it, I grind on both side.

when i spin off a jump, i go clockwise but when it comes to rails, i spin counter-clockwise. I just noticed that now. Its weird, thats not supposed to happen. anyone else spin like this?

well, I spin to the right and hen I hop into a rail, I do the 90 to my left.
but when I spin into a rail (270, 450, 630) I spin to my right.

I do whatever felt more comfortable when I was learning.

usually weak leg first, you can tell by which way you skateboard or snowboard, or which way you would slide across a floor on socks
