Why do you feel the need to name everything, especially something so simple. It's implied obviously if you 270out you slid it sideways or are we going to start naming sideways landings

He's talking about the names of slides. Frontside for approaching a rail from the right side (if you slide right foot forward) Lipslide for approaching in from the left and sliding right foot forward. I've always called hitting a rail or box straight on a slide.

And if you come neither from right or left ?

We're talking here about the most BASIC way of hitting a rail.

if there is a grab name relating to weed, 'blunt' there should be a rail trick relating to the herb as well.

Therefore i propose it should be named, 'bong'.

But then you could be 50/50ing the rail and not hitting it sideways making this invalid.

I really like what Ginko said about perp and all that. Just saying I'm going to slide this rail sounds dumb

Well if its an urban rail I say right on or left on. If its a flat rail or none urban rail I just say normal on.

Really? Because i think calling it some made up name sounds straight retarded. It IS sliding a rail, so why not call it sliding a rail.

It shouldn't even need to be mentioned because it is the most basic. Saying "270 out" gets the point across, saying, "i slid that 5 kink" gets the fucking point across

This is like saying, "we need a sweet name for straight airing a jump!"...it doesn't even need to be discussed
