I don't know why but I normally spin left side and when I try rodeo it's easier to me to spin right side! Why? And tip to spin my rodeo left side because if I wanna do bigger rotation on my rodeo I think it's gonna be easier if I spin them left side too!

Yeah I do them unnatural too.

I've only done 5s on snow but I think its better to learn like that, then other unnatural spins are more comfortable.

Dude your the same as Dana Flair he spins right upright, misty to the left , underflip to the right, and I dont know about switch but I think its left. So just get over it and do what feels best for each trick there's no need fighting it. and one day you to can be a balla like Dana. just take small steps into each trick and once you like one go with it

both Q! because I'm able to make them in 5 but when I try in 7 my rotation stops like I can't make the last 180. So I thougt that was because I do them unnaty.

you guys have to remember there is no diff for right or left. its just a mind game. the tricks are done the same. you need think of it as if you where starting all over, and this time you brought the left hook and the right hook.

I think its because your setting it as a 5 and letting the trick finish then trying to add 180. Iv seen allot of people do this. Try setting it more as a 7 this means not opening till your past 5 and keep looking over your shoulder. Spotting at 5 is good, but dont lock onto it with your vision, look at it as it goes by and keep looing till 7.
