sounds like you're amidextris or whatever the fuck it's called when you are comfertable doing stuff both ways... learn to spin both ways really high than enter a slopestyle competition and do a 720 grab one way than do it the other way off the next jump.

he means unnatural. some sports call it switch when you do something to opposite of how you normally do it.

when i first started spinning i could do both. Now i spin to the left unless i need to spin really fast and i spin to the right. The only other time i spin to the right is when i do 180's but i think a lot of other people do that to. Generally if your righ handed and footed you spin to the left.

I can only do 180s to the right but i can sort of do 5s to the left.

I do the same thing man but opposite directions as you. It's pimp dont worry about it, eventually you'll be able to grind unnatural like its nothing. Just keep doing whatever feels comfortable. lates

On any rotation in the air I spin to my left but I am going to start working on the right if I really can spin faster that way. To get on rails I go to the right.
