Why does no one do overcrooks, like at all?

First and last time I ever saw it being done was in the lsm vs will wesson slvsh at 5:13

Might be one of the most obscure tricks ever. Like people just never think to do it cuz like who would

Not that's it's not cool, looks pretty dope but kinda limits what you can do onto/off a rail

IDK, but I see that "trick" still being done by good park skiers.

So you just give it an extra 45 degrees pretty much?

I do them all the time on the large downfall at Bush. Only "trick" I'm willing to do on that thing. But you're right, I rarely see anyone else doing them.

I want to see a mute grab slide. I've been dreaming of doing that for 15 years. I think there was a Line ad back in the day, maybe Garret Russel, doing a mute slide.

I'm a big fan of the overcrooks. Do 'em all the time. I also like pushing it out in front of the bindings to do lipslide overcrook nose press.

Mute slide kinda sounds like a vincent gagnier trick lol
