  • direction of rotation

    this may seem dumb but has been on my mind for a while . when i go to spin, like 180 or 360 , i rotate counter clockwise but when i got to hop on a rail or box i turn clockwise so me left foot is in front . this just seem odd to me . any one have some input to why i do this or any one else do the same ?

    I always lead with my left on rails, but do spins either way. I think it's about a fear factor for me. I'm less scared of falling on my left side, but I don't know why.

        For some reason everyone I ride with spins right too, while the rest of the world spins left.

            i used to spin right when doing 180s, 360s, etc on my rollerblades and left when going onto rails but always had a problem doing 270 royals and savanahs n such so i tried spinning right for those and it was much easier. and so on skiboards i spin right for anything i do.

              Sounds like your regular foot vs goofy.

                I spin counter and then lead with my left foot on rails.

                My hubby is the opposite on skis.

                I think it is just some inate (sp?) thing like being left or right-handed.

                It scares me to death for some odd reason to go the other direction with either. No explanation.

                    on inline skates:
                    - I naturally turn to backwards clockwise, feels really hard other way

                    on skiboards:
                    - to turn fakie/spin on ground I can do both ways and can't really remember which feels more natural, will have to test next time
                    - to turn 90degrees onto a box slide/rail I always turn counter-clockwise,
