I know there are few of you but I spin right side but when I 180 I 180 left side. When I handrag 180 I do it rightside. I railslide left foot forward and when I am riding in switch I look over my left shoulder. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if it was only me. Thanks.

i wouldnt say its a problem its just the way you do it. youre almost kinda lucky because when you spin 270 on natural way your left foot is forward.

i used to spin left side and 270 to the left but over the summer i found i had much more control and could spin faster right side and it was easier for me to grab. i can 270 on both ways now naturally i guess. i don't know if this would have anything to do with it but i do a lot of things with different hands i write with my left hand but play golf right for example. it definitely helps that i can spin both ways sort of naturally now.

I have some what the same problem, im new to skiing and after stomping my first few 3's i realized ive created a problem for myself.. I spin right, and slide left foot forward, so to 270 on i need to either spin left(which i go way off balance on my 3's) or slide right foot forward (which I am uncomfortable doing) kinda blows.. but whatever ill find out which is easier to change tomarro

Whether I spin left or right depends entirely on the angles of the jump I'm hitting. I spin whichever direction accommodates the jump.

I spin left, slide rails left foot forward, when I attempt to handrag I spin left with my left hand down.

I spin right ... and proud of it. I slide right foot forward though. I was trying left foot and eating shit every time, so i decided to go right foot, and its working out for me much more.
When i ski switch i find looking over my right shoulder much easier, but really it all comes down to preference.

i sping to my left side, slide rails right foot forward, hand drag right, BUT i cant look over my houlder to well when switch, s i have to look over my right, hence have to spin right, i guess its pretty cool, but id rather sping left. any hints? just stretch more?

I have only been skiing for 3 months. But when I 2 on I just slide right foot forward even though I slide left foot forward.

A lot of people do 180's spinning the opposite direction because it allows you to look over your better shoulder when you land. When you spin your natural way you land looking over your unnatural shoulder.

i started like that also, except i 180d right side as well, but when i started trying switch tricks i taught myself to look over both shoulders. do that, it helps heaps. then if you are coming into a jump and want to hit it switch you can just 180 whichever way is the opposite to the way you're going to spin so you don't have to take your eyes off the jump. plus i reckon it looks cooler (personally). also if you can learn to slide a rail with either foot forward cuz it helps with spinning on etc.
