Determining your natural spinning direction?

Is there a way to determine your natural spin direction? I.E. - Strong foot in back on a board determines your stance, anything like that. Because lately i'm thinking i might be spinning the wrong way (left) because i really see much clearer over my right shoulder, and can turn my head farther that way and I am right footed? Anything i should know, or do you just huck both ways and figure the shit out...?

have a friend stand in front of you facing you and push you back. the foot you fall onto is the direction you spin i.e. you fall with your left foot back so you would spin left. plus it's usually the same way that you slide rails.

yeh you just have to go and jump off something without thinking about it, and whichever way you go is more natural. also, your natural spinning direction doesn't determine the natural way you'll ride rails. i spin left but i slide rails left foot forward. go figure.
my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

yah. put your ski's on and stand on the flats and just jump up and try to go 90 or 180 degrees or whatever.. whichever way you spin. .that's it.

Get on a trampoline. Spin both ways. Which way is your balance better? Which way can you spin bigger?

Try the arm you would throw a baseball with, and throw across your body with it so you spin the other way. Thats how I figured mine out.

Just do it and figure it out, asking us won't solve anything sinse it's solely a self preferance.

well actually what you're supposed to do, is fall face first, and your natural reaction will be to turn and land on your shoulder, whichever way you spin is the way it is

word from my mistake: learn all your spins both ways right off the bat, you'll kick yourself in the long run if you dont

hehe this is a funny post i think
just go off a jump and spin one way
then do it again spinning the other way
which ever u felt more comfortable doing is your natural spin direction
i just started this year, and id say put the natural/unnatural thing in the back of your head
just learn a trick both ways, youll be really far ahead of people who are used to spinning one way

yeah the easiest way to figure out is just to go out and mess around, i spin to the left easiest but spinning switch i spin to the right easiest. itll come.

don't worry about which way is natural just spin both ways. The goal being to not have an unatural way.
