OK time to find a proper name for this trick

lately urban progression has gotten unreasonable.

I just finished watching the field productions trailer, and something came to my attention

A few people have started hitting street rails switch, and even fewer have started hitting them switch the "hard" way or the "non-lip" way or "tails over first".

we need a proper name for this that we can all agree on. dont you think?

who has suggestions?

who already calls it something?

well technically if its like skateboarding it would be lip when u do it the hard way. cuz lip is when the end u pop with goes over the rail. but u dont pop with your tails switch (good god that would be sick). idk what to call it

hes saying that switch lips are easier though, so going switch and popping your tips over the rail. less blind, but you need way more speed or a big run-in jump

its pretty unique, so it shouldn't have any skate or snowboard terms. something oringinal would be nice. a superslide or something.

I just say switch lip and switch hard way. Like if someone comes and does switch 270 on spining left on the right side of the rail, it would be switch 270 hard way.

i see no need for excessive terms, we're not wakeboarding or anything, if the back of your skis go over first then its a lip, if youe riding switch that happens to be your tips.

yea superslide is pretty lame. i figure that its a ski trick, so, you skiers should come up with the actual name. but it'll be lame if its something like hard lip tails first. make it original

False, skiing is skiing. I'd rather use snowboarding terms than blading terms. Sorry that you roller blade? Say what you want, but ill never use blader terms.

blind on sounds good to me.. like switch blind 270 on.. swtich unnatural blind on..




but if you think it as sk8boarding...i think the easier way should be switch lip and the harder way just switch.. but that's def not the best way to call it so... i'd say blind-on is good.

switch tails over first doesn't really seem blind.  tips over first does.

isn't switch tips over first a switch lipslide?
which would make switch tails over first just switch on?

i don't see the issue here.
there's switch on, and switch lip.

or maybe i'm missing something...
