I hear Tammy Wallnuts snowboards regular, but most snowboarders are goofy, I think.

i was actually wondering this to.  like when they go on rails (or when they couldnt do both was well)  did the grind left foot forward or right foot forward??  same with spins do they spin to the left or right?

Nah not really. I think there are a few factors that decide which way people spin onto things and slide them - it just depends on which ones they think are more important. For example, if you spin left on a jump, it probably means you'd ride a skateboard or snowboard normal. So, you might slide the rail with your left foot forward (spin right onto rails). However, if you're more comfortable spinning left, you might spin onto rails like that too so you'd end up sliding a rail with your right foot forward. Then, for the 270, if you spin right, you would have to slide unnatty. If you're comfortable with unnatty, then that would be the way to go. But if you aren't, and much prefer natty, then you might spin onto the rail left. Hope it kinda makes sense?

im not as comfortable sliding unatty, but its way easier to spin right onto rails for me because im used to spinning right 90 every time i hit one

Jacob Wester spins right.

I slide left foot forward and spin right, but I can't do shit so it's neither here nor there.

theres not really natural and unnatural slides anymore, freestyle has progressed so much that the best pros don't have preferences anymore
