Whenever I go for a 270 on I always spin the opposite way I spin on jumps. It just feel more natural, but it's unnatural. Should I keep going with this or stop completely and learn to do it natural?

maybe try it natural because well..its natural...but then you will have down both natty and unatty and that will feel great!

The thing is if I go natty onto a side entry I'm going on the opposite side I usually would. It's weird

practice grinding unnatural. its actually a lot easier than you think. this will make you more comfortable spinning on natural

I just learned twos on today, I practiced unnatural stuff a decent amount first, it's weird to land unnatural at first but it makes sense after a few time, but keep doing what you're doing but learn to land unnatural too. It's always good to have em both ways.

Whatever side is comfy learn first, but you need to be able to slide both feet forward and jump on the rail from either side.

i didnt read any responses but.. if youre spinning on unnatural because you want to slide the rail natural foot forward, i'd suggest just spinning natural on to unnatty slide..it's easier for me and lots of people to slide unnatural foot forward after spinning on for whatever reason.. i'm left foot forward naturally and spin to the left and did switch 270s onto unnatty way before i forward 270ed on..maybe itll work for you idk

I spin my 270s on unnatural and land on the rail sliding unnatural.  When you 270 on to a rail your actually gripping the rail as if you were sliding up the rail since your body is still facing up-hill.  It makes it a lot easier to land and grip the rail (to stop your momentum) and its also easier for pretzels since it feels just like a frontside 270 out which is the easiest trick in the book (even though it is a blind 270 out).  And obviously 270 on 270 off is still easy cause your momentum is carrying you that way.

I spin my 270 ons using my outside foot to power the spin but when I spin normally I use my inside foot.  Its the same foot that powers both spins since I spin them in different directions. 

I also spin my 180s unnatural, I think its cause I like to look over that shoulder but its kinda strange.

But then for 360 on up I spin natural.

So if I hit a jump for the first time I would 180 to the right but then if I hit it again and went for a 360 I would spin to the left.  So fucked up.

i do the same thing just keep doing it and once you're comfy the other way is pretty easy to learn then you can do it either way
