according to 90% of this site, anything but a normal slide is "gay".
but one footers (sideways or skis parralel to the rail)
nosepress and taile press (when you are sliding with the rail under the tips or tails)
charles gagnier does that roller blader one thats sick.
thats all i can think of right now.

You're stupid. 90% hates 1 footers, cause they look horrible. I actually love nose/tail press and that one little shifty thing steel spence does in shag6 was sick

Spining on rails and off rails and spins during the rail are all dope. Nose and tail presses are the shit, but i cant do one worth a shit. 50/50s are Sweet if you spin on, switch up, or spin on the rail, but just 50/50 is kind of lame. The back leg drag thing that C.G. is kind of cool and different, but the one footers, I have to say i think they look like shit. Butters are good. I think my favorite rail trick would be a 630 to rail to nose press butter to 270 off. Or 810 to rail

Also brokens (drag your back foot) royales, (drag both feet) and UFOs (leed foot points out, back foot drags) 50-50s and 1 footers.

pretzel isnt a grind. a grind is the way you position your feet not spin on and shit. diff grinds are regular, ski slide (5050), one foots, nose press/tail press, royale, ufo, broken, unity, some people can do a 5050 but get their foot sideways, sit down, rainmaker( moving one foot forward and one back), crooked (turning either between like 20 and 70 degress or 100 and 160 or so)

see but if you do that theres gonna be a whole new bandwagon, where people actually reazile when you practice new stuff youll figure out how to make it look good.
does anybody remember when every 3 was penciled? but now threes can look sick. it may have taken awhile, but they look good now. grinds are the same way. you actually have to do them to make them look good. ill admit most people cant do good one footers, but ive seen some do one footers that looked great. honestly, im sick of style being the only important thing. its not even the most important any more. its the ONLY thing anyone thinks is worth anything anymore.
i mean sure its sick to be able to do a perfect switch 5, but landing a switch 10 on a backcountry jump-do you even realize how hard that would be? i mean it might not look great, but with something like that i wouldnt give a shit.
and butters are a whole different story. they look sick when done properly, but most of the people i see oing them basically just revert around from switch 20 feet before the rail and jump on. thats not progression.
this probably wont get read by anybody, but i dont give a shit, cuz soon enough everybody will realize its gonna be necesary.

Anything that wasn't ripped from snowboarding is gay and unoriginal.
