Would say nollie noseblunt if it was on the old middle rail, but back tail is probably the gnarliest
Title: Re: Best rail trick down El Toro? (poll)
Post by: IHOP on June 29, 2018, 10:36:12 AM
i guess the stair side vs bush side argument makes the back tail gnarlier, but I would probably try back tail before I would try nollie noseblunt.

Post by: L33Tg33k on June 29, 2018, 01:05:59 PM
The question isnt what's the gnarliest trick, but what is the best trick. Fortunately the only correct answer to both of these is one in the same; Fred Gall.

Post by: parts_unknown on June 29, 2018, 02:09:11 PM
Back tail is crazy, but Shane's nosegrind was first try, and on the middle rail. It's tough to justify what is gnarlier (in regards to all the tricks done)

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

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

Someone in the other thread was talking front blunts. https://instagram.com/p/BkrODZ4DAKh/

Well it’s done and in the same issue of tws as the back tail.

Also nyjah switch front  lipped the damn thing and y’all acting like it ain’t  the best thing to go down. Everyone’s making a big deal out of regular tricks on it and he’s the only one to hit it switch. So aside from the obvious hate he for sure wins this poll.

back tail is just so sketch because of how you are going to bail. front blunt you can at least flop over on the hill.

Post by: I sniff Jim Gagne's butthole all the time on July 02, 2018, 06:19:12 AM
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
