That's like saying, I jerk it left handed. You are actually in the better position if you are more comfortable left foot forward.. And if you're right handed, learning new rail tricks will come eaiser i guess. Took me a few painful days to perfect sliding left foot forward.

as you will come to realize you need to be comfortable sliding all four ways to have a decent rail game

well i can now get on both ways so i guess it doesnt matter anymore but now that i come back to this i think its pretty funny also, if anyone hates on this then really they really have no life because i didnt know if it was a problem... but thanks everyone who took this serious and replied back with something that was helpful unlike the virgin up top who thinks talking about railing chicks is "cool" because he is typing to guys...

yeah normally i spin to the left, but for 180s and rails i go to the right, and i think that is what he is talking about. it only bothers me if i want to 270 onto a rail, because then im either spinning comfortably or landing comfortably, but i cant get both.

I am right handed, spin left, grind rails left foot forward.... is that what you are talking about kinda? Because i am the same way but it is tight because when you are trying to spin 270 you land the way you usually slide. I think it is actually an advantage too because i learned right foot forward pretty easy actually without a lot of falls.
