Clive Dixon el Toro

[FS-OverKOOK]

i could give a rats ass that some guy did the same trick he did a year ago but popped off of his nose this time.  yawn.

A for effort though for taking all the "boring" comments to heart and trying to buy some personality with that (oh so punk) head shaving montage

oh so punk...like being too cool for a guy who noseblunts a 20 stair twice? you probably wouldn't walk down those stairs without holding on to the rail. I'm no Clive fan or Birdhouse fan but I've skated long enough to know GNAR when I see it and to just say yawn and A for effort is pathetic. I'm sure you're an undercover pro who's been putting it down for 20+ or maybe the guy doing no-complies on flat at the park...either way it's refreshing to see a guy going bigger and bigger even if he is kooked off the board.

Thank you kind sir... laughed so hard

^(edit: directed at OverKook)pretty dumb. there are no pros you don't enjoy watching for one reason or another? you can respect someone's ability but still not be entertained by them. and yeah i could walk down the stairs as long as it was on the side WITH GRASS. ill echo what other people said about the side rails not having the same wow factor as the former middle one. also, im probably way off on this but nollie noseblunt almost seems a little less scary to try and to bail than a reg noseblunt, i guess probably not when youre going that fast. again i couldn't do it to save my life with all the tries in the world, but im not a huge fan of jive clive

Can someone just darkslide it and not be a little bitch.

Can someone just Rowley darkslide it and not be a little bitch.

[Dermbot]

probably the safest trick you can try on it really. Never would have crossed his mind to try that on a middle rail. a regular tailslide, which is NBD on el toro, would be gnarlier than nollie noseblunt. still rad as fuck though.

madness.
i cant wait for the barage of tricks that are about to go down on this rail.
ive been dying to see a flip front board down it since Sorry

back tail coming soon....

Saw this. Crazy.

Don't fucking lie!
Who! My mind isn't ready for that.

[Witcheshit]

Insane. I do think the middle rail with cement stairs on both side would be harder to hit, for whoever brought that up. There's no escape plan with steps on both sides. But this is crazy nonetheless, mega props to Clive.

I appreciated hearing he was listening to Metallica - Seek and Destroy at one part, just imagined him getting hyped on Gilley haha.

^^I remember Paul Machnau, the guy who people pegged as the one who would noseblunt El Toro years ago, saying in an interview that it was too short to skate comfortably. I don't know if there are any other big-rail skaters who feel that way, but it does sort of make sense if that if you're trying to go fast enough to be able to bail down to the bottom should you have to that the rail being super low might negatively impact getting on.

I don't know though, I noseslid an 8 stair like 13 years ago and that's the extent of my handrail skating so I know fuck all about anything regarding skating a 20.

EDIT: And actually in thinking about it like that, it almost seems like nollieing on would be easier than a straight ollie on. But again, I know nothing.

Rowley noseblunting it was at the peak of Sorry rumors

[close]

There were also rumors of Bastien kf front boarding it. I was at the premiere of Sorry in Boston and people were yelling EL TOROOOO several times during the video when people were hitting massive rails. It wasn't a joke either, the kids were just dumb and thought several different rails were actually El Toro. Like the 16 where Bastien does the fk front board haha

[close]

Wasn't there some interview where Bastien explained that they were trying to pressure him to kflip front board el toro but he wasn't feeling it? Like, they even tried to take him there or something and pushed him for it, but it just caused tension when he didn't want to step up? That and other similar stuff were part of what led to cutting ties with Flip, or something?

Though it depends on how comfortable one is with doing nollies, I agree that nollie fs noseblunt is easier than regular.
