i like frontside more for the switch ride away and the technicality of having to change momentum
even though its my unnatural way of spinning, it just takes less effort for me

frontside 270s are incredibly easy, I think Backside 270s off feel cooler, so i like them better. I can only do frontside switchups, and those only sometimes and poorly.

FS is easier

BS is more fun

Really has to do with what what you spin and with what foot you put on the rail first

I can only spin left, so every time I have tried them I don't fight that urge.  I think they are hard enough as it is right now.

hahahhahaha
Anything more than a 360 is to the left, while any 180 is to the right...

i grind with my left foot forward, and spin left, so im needing to spin right...you just need to practice to get the spin down...itll feel wierd at first but just keep goin
