First of all, I'd like to say the new home page shot is killer ...
second, my crew started doin that 3 years ago ...
third, I think he's grinding on his back leg, the way we started it was one foot grind with the front/lead foot then cross the other for style so it didn't look ugly. Basically the same thing as gagnier's pic, but you'd be sliding on your lead foot, i suspect he's on his back foot in that shot.
It was dubbed the "mono-slide" when one foot grinding with your lead leg, and with the cross in we didnt really name it, just said crossed up mono-slide or mono cross.
I've always thought one footed grinds were respectable but usually fugly, mono-slides are the shit compared to back leg one footers ... i predict the mono-slide is hot this year.

it almost makes me want to cry just thinking about what has gone down on that rail on snowboards and all we can manage is a mute grab on the rail.

Who cares? I was landing with my skis crossed on rails 3 years ago too. They were really low easy flat rails but still. Its not that hard. I never grabbed though.

lol, well that went the wrong way.
I'm gonna redirect it more in the way i meant it to go lol ... so does anyone else mono-slide out there ? and with shit like that i think a lot of one foot haters will be turned.
and to whoever is disappointed that 'all we can do is mute cross a rail' lol, then get a snowboard sheesh. I mean how much more can ya do, ya want him to hover over it, slide with one ski on, maybe a switch 50 50 ona round rail while he holds his poles in a giant X above his head, or maybe use the ankle curve of his ski boots for a good solid lock-on lol.
(that's all i could come up with, I'll prolly post more later haha)

I missed the part at the sign in page that claimed that it was the first crossed up rail with a grab.
All times are Eastern (-5)
