So my friend and I were arguring yesterday about the term overcrooks. From what i've seen, the only overcrooks is a backside overcrooks, and a ollie over to backside crooks can only really be considered a nosegrind.what is the truth about the overcrooks?
-
this is a pretty controversial subject, but im pretty sure overcrooks can only be done backside.

from here on out, backside overcrooks will be refered to as furry turtle dicks, and frontside overcrooks will be nosegrinds.
-
If so, Sean Malto has a mean furry turtle dick. And I like it.

kostons got a mean switch furry turtle dick

noseblunt grind?
gersh grind?
-
Gersh grind is what I always call them backside.
But yeah, frontside ones don't exist, and neither do "front Suskis."
-
Gershon will not take cred for that trick, he calls them May grinds as in former G&S pro Shannon May. I always called it ollie over to crook and ollie over to front crook.

Salad grinds are for Vegans like Eric Dressen >=[
-
i think theres both front and back salads....for over crooks backside is a noseblunt grind and frontside i dont care cause i only nosegrind legdes and there balanced like a manual

This is a delicate matter.
Lemme flex my trick nazi skillz...
On ledges, there's crooks and nosegrinds, front and backside, because claiming to over-crook a ledge just sounds stupid, like a fs suski*. On rails if it's round, I feel it almost neccesary to crook it On rails if it's square, you can get away with crooks, nosegrinds, and overcrooks. I've seen AVE do some pretty mean, definitive "nose grinds" on rails.
If it's intentionally an over-crook, it should be credited as one.
*front suski's don't exist. People have always done crooked frontside 5-0', over-all, they're probably more common than 5-0's, that's why they don't exist. The Suski is only it's own trick because of Aaron Suski's suski grind in that old On video, simply because calling it a "double-set back 5-0 and back 5-0 fakie" doesn't get the point across of how sick it was.
But there are the exceptions. In his ryde or die part, joey pepper does a nice back over-crook on a bump to bleacher, but that's the only case of a really good, intentional back over-crook on a ledge I could think of.
Salads, same rules apply as over-crooks.

-
i think people on rails do "frontside overcrooks" because they're easier than doing a straight nosegrind. if it even gets some type of separate recognition, it should be in a demeaning manner, letting them know that we're on to their slightly easier "nosegrind" cheat

There's no such thing as a fs overcrooked

I usually don't call anything salads, but the weakest link is definetly the bs salad. That just a 5-0
