For me I only spin 1s, 3s 5s on jumps unnat and used to do hand drag corks unnat. While I cork, rodeo, and misty naturally. Anyone else experience something like this

For some reason I fell more comfortable spinning unnat switch then natural. Don’t get it at all tbh

Similar to others I spin right normally but switch left, misty left, and nosebutter left. I think it's just cause I'm more comfortable looking over that shoulder and all those tricks have some element of that.

On rails I spin way better right and on jumps or anything else I feel better spinning left, I can’t even 3 to the right but I’ve landed a handful of front 4s spinning right

I spin left but am also left foot forward. So if I wanna do a backside spin out of a rail I have to hit the rail unnatural to spin natural.

Hear me out but wouldn’t that mean your Unat is just your natural?
Nvm I’m dumb and read it wrong

same thing happens to me, 95% of the time i spin upright on bigger jumps i spin unnat and because its easier to look over my natural shoulder but rodeos, cork, side hits, misty, and flats i spin natural.

I am better skiing switch over my right shoulder and so while I naturally spin left I have a better time doing switch spins right. I'm like 90% certain Joss also does this and that's why he did his triple at the Olympics unnatural. On a tramp I also find that my left spins always cork out while to the right I do straight up.

not unnatural, but when i throw switch spins i always set up blender. also, i learned front twos to the right before i learned how to 360, and it took me two years to find that spinning to the left feels much more natural

- sw spins: I'm to stupid to ski switch an look over my left shoulder
- underflip (can't visualize a leftside sideflip)
- railtricks like superfed (can't do an unnaty blind 4,even my 2 looks akward as hell)

I spin big 180s to the left, prefer blind 2s to front 2s (also left spin, I am right foot forward on rails) but any spin over 360 I go right. I haven't tried sw lip 2s on yet but I feel like those would be easier spun left. This fuels my theory that if you're scared to try a trick think about it switch or unnatural
