In the Traveling Circus one of them grinds a rail with one ski going one way and the other going the other way. To spin off the rail he kicks the side. What is this called?
 
At 8:33 and 8:38

i called a grendel, because its super tough and can be slayed by beowulf!
yes i just made an analogy out of beowulf and andy parry ;)
 
no a grendel is on snow,and its when you stick your leg out the same way he does on the rail to spin yourself around. i dont think he calls the one on the rail a grendel though. im not even sure waht all of his things are, the beowulf, hippy killer, switchblade, etc
 
we gotta name that trick, so when skiing is cool and people look back when they do it in the x games, they repoters can say " you know that trick was named in some thread in Newschoolers.com" "yea you sure are right ted! i love newschoolers more then my son!"
 
some boarder at wisp tried to describe it to me and he called it a HIPPIE KILLER, so i take it its that or a Beowolf. Anyone 100% sure
 
have you guys forgotten that this is NS? "skings online community"? just ask him yourself yo.
 
in tahoe we call it the "ACL challenge" due to your knee being bent in rediculous ways that really hurt.
 
I've always thought they were called Beowulfs, but I'd like clarification - we need to get Andy in here to lay down the names...
 
8:38 is Bindsoul 270 out, 8:41 is Chinko 2 out, 8:48 is another bindsoul 270 out, 8:51 im not 100% sure, 9:02 is bindsoul switch up 2 out, 9:06 is ski slide bindsoul switchup, and 9:12 is ski slide bindsoul 450 out.
