Spinning and Grinding

I recently noticed that most people who spin to the left usually grind a rail/box right foot first... And those who spin to the right grind left foot first. But I spin to the left and grind left foot first. Do other people do this same thing? Or am I just the only one?

my homie is like that, so i guess that would make unnatural easier and it will make it a lot easier when you first learn 270's on

I reckon 1/6 people spin right side and 1/3 grind right side.  Both are mutually exclusive.

Yeah so was starting a topic which had been done to death.

Rather than 'searchbar', it is more helpful to provide a few links.
