Overcrooks on Handrails

[PoppySquidJr]

Yes. Why is this even being brought up, every real skateboarder should know the damned difference.

It's brought up because if you look at the initial post, Moose wants to know where the other thought process even comes from, he was hoping to see someone who sees it differently and try to understand why the see it that way. :V

Damn I hate to see so many people thinking this way. Until someone actually does a straight fs nosegrind on a handrail, there is no such thing as a fs overcrook.

Hoping this is sarcasm~

I was talking out of my ass too much I think haha.


If there are no overcrooks, there are no crooks.

Get it?

Aw man I think my sarcasm went way over your head. Poor delivery on my part, I apologize. I was trying to emphasize the silliness of this thread

If there's such a thing as fs overcrooks, then I'm still waiting to see a fs nosegrind on a handrail.

Well, to be fair..
Wouldn't FS Nose Grind, FS Overcrooks just be the side of the rail you approach?
It may not look like much of a change once you're in the grind but
I would imagine it's more difficult to approach the other side of the rail
and tweak the other way if you're unfamiliar.
Thus labeling them front side, back side?

Also, Not entirely sure but I'm using what I know and trying to learn here aswell but
I think that's how you get the term fs bs blunt, etc.
Approach frontside, turn back side blunt.

Yeah fs and bs refer to which part of you is facing what you're about to grind. So your body turns frontside for a backside boardslide. But you turn frontside for a frontside lipslide.

My whole point wasn't necessarily stuck on the fs/bs stance, it was that no one's ever done a frontside "nosegrind" straight on a rail. So the term "overcrook" is implied backside, just like a Suski grind.

[Antwan]

I understand what you're saying now
Suski grind.. 5-0 tweaked out?
But this looks frontside to me
