This thread is all jokes and opinions but I wouldn't mind seeing it go up in flames...

- Back 450
- Any grab where you grab in between your knees

I agree but they're the easiest and super helpful to get comfortable with bigger rotations. They might not look great but sometimes I just wanna 7 on a 10' jump and hope i don't eat shit

All depends on who's doing the trick, any trick can be whack AF, or real dope.......But back 4's really? Gotta be one of the sickest looking rail tricks when done smooth.

Imo doing 2 grabs in the same trick is whack af if you do 2 trailing grabs. Its so dope to do 2 grabs but ones gotta be leading and one trailing or else it looks stupid

Most 2 on front 2s (done by the average human) via my opinion look bad. Mostly when done on shorter rails where you never stop the rotation.

What about opposite ski nosegrab into mute? Would you just consider that one grab?

Cork 1’s. We get it, it’s hard. But it’s just uncomfortable to watch.

Caribou anything is just nonsense.

Landing a true nose grab without letting go and riding out still in the grab. Again, we get it. It’s hard to do. But it’s kind of a circus trick to me.

back 4s look fine if the person doing them doesnt bend at the waist. Kfeds look stupid if they are done at the very end of a rail so they dont stop the rotation.

Front swaps only look good if you actually stop the momentum and do it in the middle of the rail. Not at the end when you just tap the rail after the swap

That’s the best kind of kfed, wobble the shit out of a long ass rail then bang a kfed out at the end like its 2008

^also front swap to forwards can look cool front swap to switch is wack though
