Yeah, with regards to that... I can only spin counter-clockwise when I'm on foot, or jumping into a pool or something, but when I get on my skis, it's most natural for me to spin clockwise. Same deal for rails. I skate, snowboard, and slide on ice facing right... but when I slide rails, my natural position is facing left! What the hell is wrong with me? anyone as f00ked up as I am?

if i understand right, you spin left but grind left foot forward? Yea, i do that too, theoretically helps your 270's on b/c you spin and grind normal. Not that i can do 270's on yet, but we'll see

no no no no... I'm saying I spin counterclockwise regularily... when I'm not on my skis (for example, when I'm jumping into a pool, or just on the ground) but when I get into my skis, I cant spin counterclockwise, but only the opposite direction.

Same thing goes for rails. I would think I face right because I snowboard facing right, skateboard facing right, run and slide on ice facing right... but I slide rails facing left!

Sweet, so I'm not the only one that doesn't just do everything in 1 direction. Its messed up though, cause I feel natural doing it one way (on tramps, diving boards, everything), but when I get on skis, natural is the opposite direction
