So I've been in the park awhile.. Im decent at spinning but mostly stick to rails.. today I decided I was finally going get mute 3s and 5 down cause I couldnt before.. I would always spin left and bring right foot over my left, with left hand grab right ski.. well apparently Im just fucking stupid, cause I couldnt get it so my suggested go trailing.. got that first try. But I thought everyone did leading? what do you do? leading or trailing mutes..?

ummmm I've always done left spinning left ski over right ski grabbing with right hand...I've never tried the other way, but I should give it a shot. I think the way I usually do is less difficult though, yet it may vary from person to person

both, trailing is way easier though
especially with mutes, but as a general rule of thumb i personally think trailing is easier

yeah trailing seemed a bit unnatural, but it was so much easier to get..
