Which way do you guys spin??? I spin to the left and that makes it hard to do spins with tailgrabs
(im right handed/left footed). Any tips?
Thanks

Just grab with your right hand.... that's the easiest way to grab and spin if yu spin to the right. You can also do reverse tail grab but it will be a little bit harder to spin huge.

Another Idea is to spin unnatural when you want to spin with tail grab but it is harder and take more time to be stylie.

spinning to the left and grabbing with ur right hand is the correct way to spin and grab, unless u wanna do a reverse tail when ud spin left and grab left.

this is all for left spinning.
so being right handed and spinning left isnt bad, its good.

I'm right handed and I spin to the right. I grab with both hand but it is easier with my left hand, I dont know why but even if I'm right handed it is easier for me to grab with my left hand. so try grabbing with your left hand.

haha we're all messed up. I spin right on everything, grab everything left (I can do tails on the right too, but that's about it).

Okay. I spin counter-clockwise and I grab with my left hand to my right boot when doing a mute grab. I don't know if that clears anything up but whatever I tried.

When you spin unnatural you have to spin with your head and not with the shoulder, it is easier to keep balanced when you spin with your head.

You should start practicing unnatural spin, begin by a 180, then the 360. then , you will be able to do some sweet pipe run. natural spin on the left wall then unnatural on the right, and after that you do and alley oop trick and then an unnatural alley-oop trick.
