Hey NSers I want to know the correlation between your dominant foot and the direction of your natural spin.

Fill it out

Dominant foot: right

Natural spin: right

Natural rail slide: right

I'm asking because I see a ton spin to the left as natural.

the VAST majority of people slide right foot first and spin left naturally. If you slide right and spin right you are a lucky dude and a big step closer to perfecting your 2s on than the rest of us.

For most people right footed = spin left, slide right foot forward.

Dominant Foot: Right

Rails: Right foot forward is natural, but I am comfortable sliding either way.

I'm so versatile that I don't even remember which way I spin. Totally kidding.
Dominant: Right
Spin: Left
Rail Slide: Right Foot Forward.
It doesn't make sense to me that you like to spin right but you have a right foot forward stance.

dominant foot: right
natural spin: right
natural railslide: rightside

but when I'm switch I spin both ways fluently, I don't have a preference
and I can only flip to my left side. rightside rodeos and shit are impossible for me

I'm goofy so I slide right foot forward but I spin to the right. I guess 2s are an advantage (if I could do them).

I have a majorly dominant right foot, but I still tend to feel more natural spinning right. It feels pretty odd, spinning left though for more than 360. I also slide rails with my left food forward.

dominant foot neither. better touch with my left but better boot with my right
spin right
slide left foot forward

I also want to add this here. Why is it that mostly everyone slides right foot forward yet rides a skateboard regular? It seems like it would make more sense that everyone would slide the same way they ride a board but im gonna go with the theory that if you spin left, you also spin left to get on a rail and therefore land right foot forward

I just skimmed the thread, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned switch spins
I think my dominant foot is right? I board goofy with right foot forward
slide rails leading with the right
spin left/counterclockwise
spin switch right/counterclockwise

do many of you also spin opposite direction when switch?
