« on: January 02, 2023, 03:42:53 PM »
Is there any documented case of a pro skater living out his entire skate career with no rail clips?

Gino had a pic of f/s Nollie over a handrail but I'm struggling to think of him getting a trick on one.

I’ve seen a photo of Gino fs boarding a little hand rail but I’ve never seen the footage. Normal for the times to just get a photo but who knows

It’s funny, I can’t find the footage right now but he has a clip doing a fs 180 nosegrind on a street rail. It’s in an extra footage compilation or something.

also if were talking about strictly handrails then i gotta throw wenning in there as well (as far as i know)

Wenning switch back lip to forward @ 12:30 in the friends section of Dying to Live. I think he did a rail trick at Brooklyn Banks 9 maybe a Nollie crook, could be wrong on that one.

Love your sig. I always got excited driving by that set as a kid. But now that this thread came up I wonder why there was no handrail? Especially at a park non the less.
Alex Olson never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
