i slide naturally right foot forward, so how would i 270 onto a rail(not coming in switch), would i spin left so i'd be grinding unnatually or spin right(unnatural) and grind normal right foot forward?

I was running into the same problem when i first tried doing 270s on. It ended up easier for me to learned to do rails left foot forward than it was to spin to the right onto a rail. just try it both ways and see what feels most right

na just spin your regular way and land unnatty its not too hard

as soon as you whip it around try and force your head to spot the end of the rail to keep you from slipping back. eventually youll just balence and wont have to do that which helps for preztels

thats weird, i dont do that at all.
i spin leftside and look up hill at the start of the rail to stop my self from keep on spinning

Think of it as 180, then just a quick little 90. that helps you stay on.

ya adrians right, if you just spin your natural way, after you land left foot forward (your unnaty grinding stance) you dont notice it that much, try it out man, hope you get it

i had the same problem when i learned them. what i did was spin regular and land on the box switch. after a couple of tries you will most likely get used to it.

and if you're worried about doing it you just have to do it and not think about it, its really easy once you get the hang of it. i got it perfect on all the boxes and rails in our jib park in a day.
