Barrol Rolls

So, I know how to do them, as the barrol roll king Rory Coe has explained it to me.

BUT

I am confused about one thing, which was do I lean? I'm regular and i'd probably feel comftable doing it either way, so I was wondering if anyone else out there that can barrol could tell me.

Thanks :)
 
I can't barrel roll, but do it the way that feels more like a backflip.
So probably drop your left shoulder if you're regular.
Backflips are always easier than frontflips so yea.

Mmmmmm, it seems to me that left would feel a little more natural, because then you'd come around towards your toes.

Yeah, you lean.
kinda lean like a flair, but don't 180. so drop your shoulder but stay straight
 
lean to the left and it try flipping and looking forwards like strait the whole time the more you do that the better the barrel roll will be
 
lean completely to the side u wanna flip loli use to have nice barrel rolls but i haven't done them in like a year. i think it effects flairs did to me atleast and vise versa if i did a few flairs when id try to barrel roll id back flip 180 to fakie
