It's called unnatural, and its called manning up.

I also would like an opinion. If I spin left and ride right foot forward regular, and I want to learn switch on should I go left foot forward or right? I feel spinning left onto the rail would be easier but I don't know about riding unnatty. Like, would you even notice it?

You will get used to it, I am the same way. Switch on spinning left sliding right foot forward (my unnatural side). Progression comes quickly with fs and bs spins and swaps!

Look over the shoulder you're more comfortable with.

I slide rails naturally right foot forward but I skateboard regular (left foot forward). To learn how to slide unnatural I visualized myself running and jumping onto a skateboard.

Whenever I am hiking my rail I do one hit natural and one hit unnatural, Its like if you play a sport working on your off hand/foot. I spin naturally to the left so for me a front swap is most comfortable if I start unnatural then swap to natural. Hope this helps
