Tailpress vs bluntslide thread

Bluntslide: ollie on regular, land sliding with the rail behind your bindings

Noseblunt slide: lip on, land sliding with the rail in front of your toe pieces

Tailslide: lip on, land sliding with the rail behind your heel pieces

Noseslide: ollie on regular, land sliding with the rail in front of your toe pieces

my post in that thread. clayton vila agreed with me and you all should too.
 
this. Someone in the thread that the angle on your skis makes the trick, that is wrong, it just makes it a more legit blunt, it does not change what it is.
 
this, if it's based on skateboarding, which it should be,

Blunt: Sliding with back wheels on top of the rail/box

Tail: Sliding on the tail of the deck

Nose/ Noseblunt: same on nose substitute the trucks/ wheels for binding and we have it
 
your a fag and so is he if you guys actually give a fuck about a bunch of dumb ass names for basically the same trick.
 
why? because skateboarding is the coolest and so we should copy them? done by most people, what you call a bluntslide looks absolutely nothing like a bluntslide, which could almost always be called ollie over tailslide if we have to use skateboard terminology.

Bluntslide

Not a Bluntslide

If we have to have a bluntslide, it should be to do with the angle which is what actually makes it look vaguely like a bluntslide.

By your definition, the two ski tricks I posted are the same.

problem with using skate trick names is we don't have trucks and we don't even face in the same direction! can we just stop trying to be skateboarders/snowboarders? I like that they influence the way people ski and the tricks people do, but fact is we're skiing.
 
this how i can tell i skate decently (well used to pre-shattered ankle) and you don't. they are completely different tricks, especially on ledges.

 
the way i see it is tailblunt is a tailslide where your tips go over the rail, meaning you catch yourself with your tails, noseblunt is the same, but switched to your noses and tails over.

really, tailslide and tailblunt are the same thing, just tailblunt is a cooler sounding trick name.
 
ive been thinking this exact same thing for a bit now. started referring to the tricks this way too. it makes sense. people say the blunt on a skate board is totally different but if you think about when skaters do blunts on rails they arent always up on an angle its more about how they get onto the rail. ollie almost all the way over it and catch it with the tail.

but if youre not into it you dont need to get pissed. just call it whatever you want. ill go with this way because it makes the most sense to me.
 
because you called me out? the same is true on rails its just more obvious on ledges. They feel different to do, even on rails because you lock much more with your truck on a bluntslide. Also in case you haven't noticed, half the rail tricks done on skis are on boxes (ledges).
 
i feel the tail press is getting on the rail and PRESSING into your tails to get into the position..blunts you straight up catch the rail with your tail as jerm said and will most likely be at an angle similar to skating
 
if youre going to call that type of trick a tail press then what would you call a straight skis forward on the box slide where youre leaning back on your tails with your tips elevated? to me that is a tail press, and the sideways lipslide version would be a tail slide.
 
its weird to look at these tricks though, because in skating and snowboarding, the rider is facing sideways on takeoff, and forward or backward on the rail/box/ledge.

in snowboarding, i always see bluntslides as front foot over the rail, into a tailslide caught by the back foot.
 
Rarely ever see a good tail press so lets work on just getting good presses down before people start making up new tricks that are copied from other sports but executed poorly in skiing. Sitting on your skis isn't a tail press its siting on your skis.

 
the only time i ever use the word blunt in the name of a rail trick would be noseblunts...like the kind you do on a rainbow rail, coming in lip with your tips pointed down. Anything involving pressing of the tails would just be a tail press to me
 
Unless you're Phil Casabon all you're doing is re-branding the tail press.

Call it what it's been called for the past 10 years.
