Also frontside 180 to switch backside 50-50 is a gonz grind

Did not know it was called that but I basically saw Gonz doing it on a curb in Video Days in my mind's eye as soon as I read it.

I’ve heard this referred to as a Coffee Grinder.
It’s also so absurdly difficult. The one Jake Johnson did in the last few years over a fuckin bump to bar is utterly shocking.

If it’s a fs180 into the grind of your choice, many PALS refer to it as an Angry Little German grind.

Lmao

I always have felt knowing those names isn't really important just so long as you know enough terminology to explain the trick, it's all just local lingo anyway. Travel to different countries/scenes and you'll quickly see how many different names skaters have come up for the same tricks.

To the people saying there's no such thing as a switch nosegrind;  popped switch, would you then call the trick a switch krook or a fakie suski? Also, popped switch, is it a fakie tail or a switch nose?

This "Spanish grind" too;  just for clarification, are you all saying the second rotation is in the opposite direction of the first or in the same direction (so the skater completes a 360 rotation during the trick?

because it sounds way fuckin sicker. “i just learned back 180 switch smiths” L. “i learned bennett grinds” “what’s a bennett grind?” “your girlfriends favorite trick” W.

wow that would be a w. they’d be so embarrassed they asked lol

I believe the proper way of naming the trick is the spin to however the grind is done in regular stance,

Ex-

180 nosegrind (simple)

Switch 180 5-0 (regular 5-0)

Half cab 5-0 (also simple)

Half cab smith (you get it)

Half cab nosegrind (because you’re doing a nosegrind..)

Nollie 180 nosegrind (to what looks like a switch 5-0)

Nollie 180 5-0 (to what looks like a switch nosegrind)

The nollie tricks are opposites because you refer to the grind in regular stance

Another example lucas’s famous trick at macba,

Nollie frontside flip 5-0 to regular

If you do the trick switch, it’s called the regular grind, just done switch….

Ex-

Switch nosegrind

Switch 5-0

It sounds right and makes sense, end of discussion. Y’all are trippin if you think a switch nosegrind doesn’t exist.

I think the no such thing as a switch nosegrind comes from that weird transition when switch was first starting.(and predates crooked grinds) when switch Ollie being called fakie nollie briefly wasn't a total joke.
mostly in transition skating if you were going in reverse it was fakie even if you levered off the nose. Is it a fakie tailstall or a switch nosestall? Fakie thruster or switch bean to fakie(to regular just to add more confusion)
