Whattup, I was just chillin today at my local hill sconnin the beef with the fork when I had a life changing revelation. I was skiing park early in the day and personally my preferredway of getting on rails is spinning left or counterclockwise, but about halfway through the day I hit a wind lip and threw a shift when mid air I realized my skis initially spin right or clockwise. Am I just a weird ass or is this natural??? Pls help, in need of a friend

Pretty common actually. I prefer spinning right, and sliding rails left foot forward, but usually shifty to the left.

It makes sense if you think about it. Shifties are almost more about the counterrotation of the upper body the opposite way that you twist your skis. Since most spinning is from your waist up and core, shiftying "unnatural" is like spinning your comfortable direction.

Does "outie" mean you'll be killing yourself because you realized how big of a jackass you sound like?

Nah, that makes sense. Think about it like you're spinning. You'd shifty right if you're spinning left. If you were adding a shifty to a spin, it wouldn't work to shifty the same way you spin.

Also, damn it Skiierman come on.
