I've also found that for the latter these people also find it alot easier to spin the other way to their natural direction. Whereas I for example find it extremely difficult to spin in my opposite direction and as a result look like a complete spacker trying I also know riders who dont follow either rule, they can alternate between right or left foot forward and spin either direction totally naturally.

To some extent most people follow the normal rules but its definitely not set in stone.
