is the side rail smaller than the middle one was? because on a trick like bsts, there's no way you're bailing over into the bush side.
i can see the arguement on front blunt, 50-50s, feebles and such but fs crook or bs tail you'd fall into the stairs from whence you came.
so unless the size is different, i don't think it counts any less.
whoever no name fs tailslid it belongs on the list and who said only nyjah hits switch, he's far and away the best switch trick down it but let's not forget dan pageau and also the homie who boardslide/switch boardslid it long ago.
thing about skating, something seems new because you haven't seen it recently but it's all been done.
love to see pat duffy jump on it for nostalgia.

Duffy would crumble upon impact. You see his true part? He looks pretty fragile nowadays.

I think the little lump on the grass side rail adds enough gnarliness to almost bring it to the same level as the middle rail. Who has even bailed into the grass? All I can think of is Clive on the nollie noseblunt
I was standing staring at the world, and I still can't see it

When did Shane Cross nosegrind El Toro? I've only seen footage of the front overcrook.

front over crook on a round rail, is that like a front side indy air?

listening to the new 9 club and they talked about how heath k happen to be at el toro the day of the back tail by coincidence and he peeped the footage right after it happened. kinda strange coincidence

Back tail is gnarly. Still voted Fred Gall though...

Everybody claiming Shane’s nosegrind over Foy’s front crook: why?
[close]
The nosegrind was unreal but over a front crook, back tail or a fuckin nollie noseblunt??
Front crook has lock in/slip out risk
back tail blind spot
nollie nb - you have to nollie over the rail to lock in
Anybody stepping to this thing is buck

A few reasons, middle rail alot scarier,first try, and it was done in 2005,i would say it was the gnarliest rail trick ever done at the time. Anybody can do anything these days
If it was done first try, how hard was it? You're on one if you're trying to tell me that a nose grind is gnarlier than a front crook, back tail, switch lip, nollie nose blunt etc. Nothing against SC buts lets be real.
