presses when your bindings are over the object
handplants when you use two hands, if it was then why wouldn't it be called handSplant?

May I ask as to the intent of this thread? Are you trying to change the way people do tricks, or change the way they talk about them??

Either way, it seems somewhat unnecessary, however an explanation seems to be in order...

hahaha. tailspress.

re: whether or not the bindings can be over the object; perhaps skiing needs to distinguish between "tailpress" and "tailslide" the same as snowboarding.

Presses and handplants were meant for snowboarding. They don't transfer well.

So true, it's not because you're crouching that you're pressing

exactly.
i have only seen MAYBE 1-3 skiers do anything that comes even close to a tailpress. most skier just fucking sit down. much like the nollie's backscratcher.

skiers just straight up don't do anything proper, at all.

have u ever tried to get trough a whole downrail with a tailpress u are talking about? i think thats nearly impossible on skis.

and to do a press only the last 3 feet of a rail is if anything a fakepress

you say that a little to boldly for someone who is incorrect in the assumption that you cannot be considered pressing if your bindings are over the object. Not only are you a fool, but your close-mindedness and lack of creativity disturb me

I've never understood why people bicker over trick qualifications or titles. I just make up my own names for tricks so that everybody is equally confused.

the rail isnt under his foot so its a tail press. if you wanted to tailpress like you can on a snowboard youd have to like wear weights on your head

you're pretty much proving my point, trying to justify the fact that skiers can't do real presses; therefore we should settle for shitty ones just because it's hard to do them well.\

you must think backscratchers are nollies too!

That would be a tail slide on a snowboard.

This is one of the few shots I have seen that actually looks like a tail press.

There's really nothing skiers can do on rails other than spin to win

Don't take it so seriously. Beside there are a few snowboard hate threads up right now.


I've ridden with mostly skiers the last 5 years.

This may be the worst offender of all time. It saddens me when i look at all the comments on it and they all say how amazing of a tailpress it is

Yeah no hate to the guy but that's a prime example of what this thread is about, also it's probably what gave the idea to the op haha I know I was cringing when I saw that oppening my NS.

Exactly and to the other HotPocket dude above, how is he going to physically or possibly press his tail? Do you not understand the weight distribution of a skier when clicked into his skis? As stated before there would have to be weights or some special ski flex/hinge thing in order to get a true press like you want (and also take into consideration he is riding THalls which are meant for this and its still not happening).

In terms of skiing: Thats a fucking press.
In terms of snowboarding: Nothing of the sort.
So consider the two seperately or forever be lost.

man this is what bugs me the most. sliding sidways on your tails is not a tail press it is a tail slide. but only a tail slide if you go in like lip slide.
if you go in regular then it is a tail blunt.
A tail press would be straight on with the tips of the skis held above the rail and not touching.

if we are going to steal trick names we might as well do it correctly.

I'm just procrastinating studying here... But I like the look of crouching down on a box/rail. I don't necessarily call it a tail press, nor do I really care weather I'm on my tails or now, I think it looks good, and it's fun.. So I do it.

All I know is that when kids do the sit down thing to make it look like they are doing a tailslide/tailpress it looks pretty dumb.

Unless you are b-dog and can 270 out.

Snowboarders call things nose/tailslide /blunt/noseblunt that never are in a million years, its no different. That said, bindings on doesn't count really, I'm guilty of this sometimes though.
