I was doing a quick survey and I wonder If there is more people grinding right forward or left foot forward ? And if you spin the same you you grind or opposite ? For me I grind right foot in front and spin and the same way other way just impossible.

I thought it was normal to go right foot forward and spin left? same with left foot forward and spin right?

when I first started skiing I went right foot forward and span left and a month later I changed to left foot forward and spin right for some reason, weird...

This is the norm.

Both on rails and on jumps you're spinning to the left. (IE the 90 onto the rail is to the left)

Right for both, though for some features I prefer left.

Same for me, you basically gotta choose whether to grind opposite or spin opposite. I prefer to spin opp for 270s but it also makes 4s on easier

Same right foot forward, and spin left. That's what feels the most natural though I can spin right so I land right foot forward for 2s on

I grind left foot forward and spin to the left. Yet I 270 on to the right and land right foot forward, it effed up and makes no sense, when i try it spinning left I usually go to 360.

left foot forward.  Spin right?  I am pretty even when it comes to spins on jumps.  Sometimes I am good spinning left and other days I am good spinning right.  Gets frustrating

I thought 90% would be "right foot, spin left", this surprised me! So yeah my natural preferences are also right foot first and spinning to left.

I spin left.

I'm just as bad with either foot forwards on rails, normally I go left (foot forwards) even though I think I might be slightly better right...

Right foot forward, and I spin to the left.

Weird thing is that I spin to the right when I bike. It's always been this way for me, not too sure why.

Right foot forward, spin left. Regular on a snowboard/wakeboard, goofy on a skateboard... I never quite figured that one out.
