This thread is ridiculous. Overcrook was in captions in mags in the 1990's. Lots of variations of the crook had shit loads of names on the 90's.
Most skate parks in the 1990's did not have handrails. If you wanted to skate a handrail you had to find one in the streets. When lots of skate parks started popping up in the 2000's, they started adding in these little skate park handrails (this was discussed back in the day because it was controversial to some OGs).
The robot jock kids of the 2000's started ripping those little skate park rails, and the overcrook debate emerged because those skate park kids said, and I quote: "That's how you get into a nosegrind on a handrail, there's no other way to do it, therefore there is no overcrook, there all called a front side nosegrind."
That is literally the logic behind the debate, it sparked from robot skate park kids from the 2000's. Pretty stupid imo
