Which way should I spin onto a rail

Practice 360s both ways to see which way is your natural way of spinning. On tramp or just flatground

Learn both ways from the start and become a rail god

I learnt rails weird, so when i do 360’s on skis i spin to the left but when i go onto a rail i slide left foot forward so i have to spin my opposite direction onto rails. Just try hitting a small ride on rail both ways and what ever way feels more comfortable stick with that way.

hmmm sounds like spinning into rails isn't your thing, and you should just go straight to flipping onto them


for real though just do whatever feels the most natural to you. people have all kinds of different natural ways and preferences in terms of which foot forward they like more, which way they spin into stuff, which shoulder they want to look over when going switch, etc.

just do whatever seems right to you and uses what you know already the best. for example, i learned switch 2 in before regular 2 in, because even though sw2 puts me on the rail unnatural, it was easier to do at the time cause i could do small switch 3s and on a sw2 i could keep my eyes on the rail easily throughout the spin on...others probably did the opposite because the spin on wasn't a big deal to them and they were more concerned with sliding the rail their natural way once on

WILLYWONKASpinning to the left feel right, but I haven’t had much luck with that. I also stop on skates turning to the right, but stop on skis turning to the left. Haven’t tried spinning left yet, it seems like I’ll eat the rail

Are u a righty or a lefty and it says you tried spinning left and it says you haven’t so?

I am this same way actually. I think its because I spin left naturally but I used to longboard alot so I am used to having my left foot forward. It does making hitting rails switch easier though.

Yeah it makes it alot easier, and doing front 270’s and 450’s easier

Most right foot dominant people spin left and slide right foot forward.

But as mentioned try both see what works. Also honestly good to learn both rather than have a period where you can only slide/spin one way

I’ll learn to fishbrain then

I’m a righty, I put right foot forward

I’m a righty and I spin to the left and I think most righty’s do too.
