blindside is when you spin a switch up and your spinning towards the bottom of the rail and when you spin out its the same thing..

Lip is simply bringing your tails over the rail first, so if there was an urban with a jump on the right side, a person who slides left foot forward would be doing a lipslide.

it doesnt have anything to do with your natural rotation, it has to do with the specific rail your hitting
