On my friend's backyard box I started doing what would be I guess a semi daffy grind. Basically anybody could prob do what I did, but it was like a small tailpress on one ski(basically the toe piece of my binding was just off the edge of the box) and a small nosepress on my other ski, the heelpiece being just off the side of the box. They are pretty fun. Ill see if I can go further than that on my backyard box. Ill post some footage once I can get out there after my broken toe heels.

I kinda like the position the skis have to go in when people pretzel on thin ass rails, one nose up, other nose down. Looks sweet, dont think theres a way to sustain it without nutting yourself tho.

Do you mean like jump on the rail normal and grind with the tip of one ski and tail of the other. Sound like you might be able to like do a little hop and do it quick, but youll prolly rack yourself

Land daffies look damn good. Especially if they are done correctly. Personally, I can't do them nicely but I got mad respect to those who cal spin a three land daffy. Like Boyd Easley used to throw.

Yeah me and my friend have been doin the "rainmaker" this year haha. Never really called it that either though. We just called it the daffy grind. I do it like this: Get on (not 5050), and just shuffle your feet back and forth a few times. I haven't done it just like one big press goin 5050.

There is a possibility that this impossible trick is possible.
