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.

left handed, left footed, spin left, hop on rails left, switch spins left, ride skateboards/otherboards goofy, funny thing is though when I was younger I would ride a scooter "regular".

best possible combo. 270s on you land natural, then a pretz is just a stock bs270 added to that

This is interesting as I'm trying to figure out what spin direction is best for me. I'm right foot dominated, stronger turn is left. Whenever on a x I have always span right so started spinning right on skis. I wonder if left would be better...

Dominant foot: right
Natural spin when regular: left
Natural spin when riding switch: right
Forward foot on rails: right (which is weird, since I'm more comfortable with riding left foot forward whenever I try snowboarding)

This thread makes me feel ok because I thought it may have been weird that I'm right foot dominant. Spin left and rails left forward unless I plan on buttering or 270ing, I spin left on..

I think I'm the most jacked when it comes to this:

Dominant foot: Left (left foot forward when I skateboard/surf)

Natural Spin: Right

Slide Rails: Right foot forward

Makes no sense to me. Logic would say I should be hitting rails left foot forward since I spin right and ride everything else left foot forward. The only reason I should be more comfortable riding rails right foot forward would be because I spin left, which I don't.

Spinning to the left means your straight.  Spinning to the right is gay.  Just like right ear rings.

Dominant Foot: RIght
Spin: Right
Rails: Left foot forward

I have realized that this way has always been the minority, and I've always wondered why? I think I use my left foot forward because I'm regular on a skateboard/snowboard, so I have my left foot forward on rails like I would on a board? I don't understand how people who skate regular slide rails with their right foot forward
