So I got my side flip down. I am curios about something.

I am right handed, it as easier for me to get it rotating towards my left side. What about you?

Which side do you go to and are you lefty or righty?

Me too, I think you'll find that the case for most people. I twist left as well.

Same for me, right-handed but I flip over my left side.

I can't figure out which way is which.  Huh? I'll try again when I'm awake.

Not talking about twist but more like what shoulder leads (which is in front) as you take off.

I've never done this move before but to me it seems more comfortable if my right hand (I'm right handed) is the hand thats going upward to give me some momentum for the maneuver. Kind of like a hook shot in b-ball.

Now I understand. For me it's the right side that's the easiest. Then again, I haven't tried the left side.

I'm right handed as well, and I lead my side flips with my left shoulder.  I also rotate to the left (counter clockwise from above) for front halfs and fulls.

Yeah I know, I was adding the twist direction as a note on the end of my post, if I had meant I twist left the same as you do, it would have been a comma, not a different sentence.

I am right handed, and I flip with my right shoulder leading. I haven't met anyone who flips with their right shoulder.
