So imagine a Front blunt on a skateboard... now imagine how fat the equivalent would be on skis. Like a tail press on the very edge of the box, but pressed so hard that your skis' noses are way above your stance. uhhh i cant even believe how fat that would be.. im learnig them tomorrow
 
No, a bluntslide is just tailslide when your not lipping it. Tailslide is lipslide into tail.

Alot of people do them on the edge of the box tweaked up though.

Also noseslide is from the same side noseblunt is lipslide noseslide. its less confusing if you skate.
 
i spent so long trying to figure that out

then realized he was talking about skateboarding...

or is he?

fuck im confused
 
ive seen that shit soo fukin sik jf slays. how the fuk does he do that on hand rails? so insane

 
overcrooks aren't really that hard

fun trick but i would say 90% of the people that gave it a try could do them
 
god damn that was sick. Max hill should be in the big videos, I like his steeze wayyyyyyy more than all of these cookie cutter steez like simon dumont for example.
 
yeaa and frank raymond and some guys at momentum this summer were tryin to do like hurricanes goin from straight up 90 to pointin them almost uphill, crazy shit
 
every front or back blunt i've ever done depended greatly on my trucks being there. you need it or as soon as you pop over the rail your board will slide right into a front board.
 
You mised the point, its not about having trucks or not, its about knowing which side of the rail the trick is done from, we already lack a fs or a bs, so calling it tailslide and bluntslide atleast lets you know how the trick is being done. makes a hell of alot more sense than being like "yo he did a tailslide down delbrook" "uh what kinda tailslide??" "oh you know, a tailslide lipslide"-thats retarded when you could say blunt and anyone who skis, snowboards or skates knows what you're talking about.

skating and snowboarding already have names for the tricks that make sense, so why re-invent the wheel for skiing? and dont give me some shit like its skiing not snowboarding, cause fact is we're doing the same tricks, and when we're doing the same tricks they should use the same names. Guess who doesnt do that??? rollerbladers! and they have stupid names for shit like fishbrain and ufo grind.

and btw, whoever said jf houle was dong "overcrooks", those sound more like hurricanes to me, overcrook is over the rail into crook(dunno how you'd pull that on skis)
 
the day i see someone on a round urban doing a "bluntslide" i'll agree with you. i'm talkin tips above bindings blunt not just a tail over the rail. that's just a tailslide no matter how much you argue. you can't blunt without trucks.
 
im just waitin for pep or someone on rockered skis to bust one out. i know they are possible, and maybe its not technically a bluntslide. o wait pep actually kinda does a fat disaster "noseblunt" in 1242.. kinda
 
a real tail slide is hard as shit. most people call a what really is a blunt slide a tail slide. basically if your feet ever cross the rail it is a blunt.
 
yesss, good work thats a good way to describe the difference to skiers. feet go across rail on a noseslide or a tailslide its blunt.

thats not what defines it but it will help you kids know the difference.
 
why can't it just stay that anything that you are pressing on your tails is a tail slide. why do we need to rip off skateboarding tricks that aren't even possible on skis.
 
it seems like, for it to look best, youd need skis with absolutely no flex, otherwise itd just be an extreme nose press
 
^^a 50-50 makes sense cuz it looks like the trick does on skateboard. let's start calling our grinds boardslide. sounds pretty rad. i really don't care what way people get onto a rail if they slide it without spinning on or going unnatty. if you wanna call it a blut do so.
 
yeah haha names are overrated...

anyway, this overcrook thing thats easy? how do you do it/ what does it look like?
 
you should all just give up the idea of a bluntslide on skis. but to eliminate trcik names like "lipslide tail" it's not a bad idea to start calling them blunts or tails
 
cam your crazy! its funny because a certain couple of kids i was talking to were talking about the same kind of slide, but on a circular rail/wallrider thing
 
how could you not care what side a person comes on to a rail from? You do realize they are talking about an urban style rail right?

IF you are going to bother naimg a trick at all you may as well give it a name that say what you are doing. Go do a nose press and a nose blunt and tell me they are the same trick.
