The even stranger Neil Blender trick is the rocking horse....nose pick to tail pick....or tail pick to nose pick.....

The backside shifty is not a common one....

Love that trick, only Neil can make it look cool.  That dude's selection is the Holy Grail of extinct tricks.

Also, a Losi grind is what Riley Hawk has been doing a lot.  The "alley-oop hurricane" (alleyoop 180 to switch feeble?) trick someone was talking about, I've always wondered what people call it.  In some video the Gonz does on frontside on a ramp so I always called it a Gonz grind.  Rick Ibaseta does one @0:12 in this, the same part where he also does the first "Barley grind".  Maybe that other one should be an Ibaseta grind?


I feel like someone must have been doing "Bennett" grinds long before.  BUT in that new Thrasher, Matt Bennett approaches a rail backside, backside 180s, and over-turns it into a switch backside feeble.  Some shit I've never seen, and the caption calls for Bennett to name it.

I do that trick in games of SKATE, no one has that one. that and fakie varial flips. Those are guaranteed letters. Sometimes people fuck up on a simple pop shove because no one does that trick. it is extinct.

i swear i remember seeing a photo of darrell stanton doing a bennet grind in thrasher a couple months before matt bennett started showing up in mags doing them. i think they were calling it a frontside barley grind. i'm not 100% sure though. this would've had to be in 2003-2004 so it's a little hard to remember. i'm probably wrong though

The Casper flip is a #rare beast to see in the wild.

I don't know, there's always one park kid who has a thing for casper flips. At my local there's this kid who's "claim to faim" is fly out casper flips.

I remember a long time ago, Darrell went to Atlanta and my friends showed him around. I think it might have been the trip where Real but Brock on. Anyway, I guess while he was there, he was talking shit about that trick and how lame it is to have a trick named after you, and how it was the only trick Matt Bennett ever did. That's paraphrasing, but it was along those lines. It just stuck out to me because in the Trasher Real article about the trip, literally the only two tricks he had in the magazine were both Bennett grinds.

I think a novacane is the trick Gonz and Cole have done - approaching rail frontside, front 180 into switch b/s feeble.  What Bennett has been doing is different.  BUT here is something funny: in an old Thrasher, Sieben wrote about the trick that Bennett is doing (approach frontside, back 180 to switch back feeble) a few years ago and called it a "Sieben grind."  He first talked about it as "approach rail backside front 180 to switch front feeble," but he talked about all of the potential variations on it.  And then the next month, Chris Haslam did one switch down a rail for an ad.  None of the editors seem to remember this, which is funny since Sieben is an editor at Thrasher, so you would think he would speak up whenever people are confused by the trick.

Pop shuvits men, especially on tranny. So difficult you aren't sure if you're going to land it, and when you do you have no plan for the next wall. Haven;t seen a good pop shuvit since Gailea Momolu circa 10 years ago

Gonz does one in Video Days and he called it a Grapefruit Grind. PLG does them on vert too.
