Replying to Did I learn rails the wrong way?

HVskier:
I naturally spin to the left. I also slide rails by turning to the left, with my right foot forward. Is this the opposite of most everybody else? this makes switch ons difficult as I have to turn to the right and 270 would be pretty impossible. does sliding right foot forwaard also make spins off the rail more difficult (spinning to left)? is that darkside or blindside or something? It seems trying to switch to left foot forward would make rail variations easier to learn, is that the case?
