Problem with rails

Ok so this past weekend I went to my local hill hoping to learn how to grind most rails in the park. I've come to a weird problem. I naturally spin to my left like most people but when I go to pop onto a rail I naturally spin to the right so my left foot is leading. I'm right footed so I put the majority of my weight on my right foot naturally and always slip out and eat shit. I've tried spinning the other way but it feels really weird but if I line it up right I grind better with my right foot forward. What could I do about this problem?

In all honesty, keep doing both. You'll be much happier down the road if you learn left and right foot forward from the beginning.

This.. But also remember to put the rail right under your foot and look at the end of the rail

Keep your legs spread out. That was my problem and then this kid told me and I was golden.
