quit it with them kfeds and 450s, there could be so much better rail skiing but everyone to busy just tryna swerve and grind and hit a number, why not grind in a more unique way?

this season .OTTO. pledges to grind in only unique ways, no more basic 270 ons or basic 450s out eray needs a tweak or tap. I will invent smith grinds on skis as well as crooked, nose blunt and much more. LSM type shit mai. tai. shit

who agree?

oh shit sauce the link plz

theres this dima makrushin roller blading video that is now locked sadly where he does a pistol squat on a rail and grabs safety on the leg sticking out

I bet if you go lip on to a rail or box, drop either your front or back ski you could do this if your strong enough ( than grab saftey)

another idea is kinda what keegan killbride did in his insta vid- the last trick shows like a sorta crooked grind where hes looking back- doing that kinda thing on a DFD would be dope maybe after a sw nollie.

I just think about skaters and how hard they try for a single trick, how are we as skiers limiting our progression because we dont commit to any idea simply because we wouldn't be able to get it in the first 10 tries

What you're talking about is called a rocket makio in rollerblading (I know, super lame names)
I'm with you though on taking inspiration from rollerblade rail tricks to increase the variety of tricks in skiing. I know there are plenty haters on the increase of rollerblade tricks but there is always going to be.

I swear I've seen someone do a rocket makio on a rainbow rail before, may have been Phil or henrik?

Crooked grinds already exist and they're called zeaches, not nearly as cool as in skating since we don't have trucks to get caught on making them easy

that said kieran used to do some wild 50-50 manual combos that I'd like to see more of

This would look sick but has to be pretty hard to get low like that with your ski out in front

Creative rail skiing has been going down for YEARS. If all you've seen are kfeds and 450s, than you've been looking in the wrong places for the last 10 years

I think I remember seeing it on the breck rainbow, probably wasn't henrik/b-dog then but I'm pretty sure it was the icon of whatever video it was in. Cool trick either way, can't imagine how sketchy it must be to try it first time

The only way I would imagine that being possible would be having your topsheets slide a rail. Think Tom's over under slide but both skis under. That would be tight

Dub post but, not sure who did it at Breck but I remember Jake Carney did a rocket Makio of sorts on a rainbow in black park in a simple edit, was also the thumbnail. That was tight.

I actually spent a day last year doing smith and crooked grinds on rails with my skis super close together until I caught and pretty much did a rodeo onto my back. It was fun but they didn't look that sick tbh. Also, my friend threw this trick down last year which was pretty hecked https://www.instagram.com/p/BW3-CiIlYC0/?taken-by=squidskiing

Fuck tho man broken slides are hard af on tubes. I was reminiscing doing them on boxes which I can do 100% of the time vs a tube which I've only ever landed once. Maybe next season I'll try some more...

That was sick

Zeaches (kinda crooked grinds) got popular for a while in skiing but I haven't seen em a lot lately. I think that kind of stuff is great
