I understand that there are different variations of corked spins, but i am confused what the difference is between a corked spin, and an unatural corked spin. obviously the unatural one is "unatural," but is there a huge difference that you can see (i.e. post vids por favor)?
+K for help!

A good place to start is by spelling UNNATURAL right.

A corked spin thats not unnatural is simply a corked spin on your natural or most comfortable side that you spin. Unnatural is when you spin to the side you aren't most comfortable with. i.e: You spin left naturally, You spin right unnaturally.

unnatural is spinning your not natural way. like if you normally spin a cork 7 to the left, an unnatural cork 7 would be spun to the right

Anytime. But all BS aside, the way you spin more comfortably is your natural side, and the opposite is your unnatural. A cork is the same each way just thrown as a mirror image of the other, if that makes any sense. Obviously, unnatural is much harder, and can more easily be thrown wrong that way.

Forgot to add this in there, but natural and unnatural is spinning right or left. For me, left is natural and right is unnatural. It's all a matter of preference.

tthe term unnatural is stupid. some people spin natural to the left but while going switch it is to the right. some people snin natural to the right but when doing a rodeo, doing it to the left is easier, therfore the term unnatural makes no sense,  the way i see it is if your doing  720 your natural way just say a 720, and if your doing one to the right and that is not natural you can say a rightside 720

In snowboarding we have this thing called hardway. Its off the toes/heels spin. So a regular foot rider spinning left (frontside) would leave the lip off his toes.

It's nothing like unnatural.
