    If you cant overcrook a rail, then you shouldnt be able to crook a rail either by that logic.
    And if that were true, then Koston wouldve ran around nosegrinding all the rails on our planet and a K-grind would refer to a nosegrind and not a crook.....So fuck yeah its possible! If your front truck is grinding and your tail is not aligned with whatever youre grinding.....its not a nosegrind.

    I hear idiots say it's impossible to do a straight nosegrind on a handrail without tweaking it so it's a nosegrind not an overcrook

    i say it is possible to do a straight nosegrind (or something that is close to) and to do both krooks and overkrooks. if you know what you are doing than you can straight nosegrind. and the thing with not standing straight is stupid, you won't grind a rail perfectly in the middle of the truck, you'll always kinda "lock in" with one wheel, but your back truck can be over the rail!

    now please end this stupid conversation...

    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.
