My coach apparently had an epiphany (after we changed direction practicing back crossovers, which I'm just learning, and I went from getting it to getting my feet tangled and nearly wiping out both of us) and said, "You're a 'lefty', aren't you?" Meaning I favor clockwise turns and spins, though since that's towards my right hand, I'm not sure why 'lefty'. And thinking about it, I do prefer turning clockwise, or moving my weight to my right leg in a direction change. I also remember when I was watching "Ice Princess" (I know, I know) with the DVD commentary and one of the girls commented that she spun one way while her double spun the other, so she had to relearn her spins to match it. I'm not sure which is more common, so I thought I'd take a poll out of curiosity. So if you are/were a skater, which way to do you spin, clockwise or anticlockwise?
