Does anyone know exactly WHAT the underslide is? Like is there a video link to watch it, cuz I'm all about tech grinds, and i'm really stoked to see it, but I can't find it anywhere. help would be greatly appreciated.

its just grinding the bottom part of the rail. if the rail looks like this ============== then instead of grinding top rail as one would normally do, he slides the bottom one. have you seen turbo?

I've watched Head for the Hills countless times and I feel like I'd remember seeing someone slide the bottom of a rail..

http://www.powderawards.com/ click on video, then scroll down to best jib. the last rail wesson slides in the playground shot is "underslid." I think its a little after 2:20 if you don't want to see all of them

to the thread creator, if you can picture a regular handrail, there's the top part, a gap, a then a lower rail parallel to the top that's like a foot beneath. He slights the lower sections with the top rail over his tips..basically sliding the middle of a rail, plus he's gotta 2 out or hell die

Buy Head For The Hills and scope the underslide, AP's hippy killers, and Will's banger shot that won him a Powder Award for Best Jib!
