    The way I see it, a nosegrind is a nose manual where the front truck is grinding. A crook is a combination of a nosegrind and noseslide, much like a Smith grind is a combination of a 5-0 and lipslide

    I agree. I do this trick on flat bars. When I nose grind there is zero pinch, it is more like a nose manual where I grind. Front side over krooks absolutely agree. I think the opening clip was an over krook too man

    Regardless if it's "officially" right or wrong, personally for me an overcrook will always be an overcrook whether it's frontside or not. My logic being, we'd never call a salad grind or a Suski a 5-0, would we?

    • @possiblythatguy2304
      @possiblythatguy2304 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      Counterpoint: Suskis only count backside and salads only count frontside. Following that logic overcrooks should only be backside cuz it’s also a “backwards facing” grind.
      I don’t think it really matters and people will still say fs salad and bs suski and bs overcrook just to make sure you know it was the cooler looking and “more legit” version

    • @JustinBA007

      ​@@possiblythatguy2304in my opinion, fs Suskis exist even less than fs nosegrinds. Much like nosegrinds, not only is it way easier to do a fs 5-0 crooked like that, but the trick is named after a real person who never did them frontside.
      If someone says fs overcrook, I'm not gonna correct them. But fs Suski is just stupid.

    • @mattlane9241
      @mattlane9241 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Actually, a lot of people would say that a suski is only backside, and that a front suski is just a tweaked 5-0. It’s a similar argument.

    fs overcrooked needs to be taken seriously so the REAL fs nosegrind on rails becomes legit. Garret giner did fs nosegrind and fs overcrooked on flatbar, it's real

  • @seanylewl

    I think the difference comes down entirely to intention. If you are intending to do a nosegrind and it drifts out, that's a nosegrind. If you are specifically trying to do a crooked grind then it's an overcrook - even if it looks exactly the same as that previous nosegrind.

    IMO there absolutely is such a thing as FS overcrooks. The Elijah clip is so obviously crooked. If you took a snapshot half way through the grind and asked someone that never saw it what it was I bet most would say it's a crooked grind. The only reason there's no FS overcrooks is because skateboarding is petty and has a bunch of unwritten stupid "rules" mostly so "real" skaters (the ones in the right clique) can feel superior. Think of it this way, if bs overcrooks are an actual trick, then fs overcrooks have to be an actual trick. It just makes sense.

  • @joshwilliams7692
    @joshwilliams7692 วันที่ผ่านมา +11

    Yes, it's harder to do a nosegrind. That's the point. Locking it in at an angle isn't a nosegrind. A nosegrind is a harder trick. It also bugs me when I see people say they did a bluntslide on a rail. If your wheels aren't sliding, it's not a bluntslide.

    • @TheDylonCarter
      @TheDylonCarter วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Agreed. Blunts need to be well.. blunt. If your board isn't pointing up at all, it's a fancy tailslide.

  • @TheDylonCarter
    @TheDylonCarter วันที่ผ่านมา +8

    It's an overkrook dude. The whole front nose grind is an old squabble from vert skaters bc front nosegrinds on vert are almost always crooked. The same with calling a cab a full cab. It's all old vert jargon they invented as they were inventing tricks. All those dudes went on to be legends so what they said was law. 35 years later people still don't stinkbug and people still call them frontside nosegrinds.

    One thing I never hear brought up in this argument is that nosegrinds were invented before crooked grinds. And since the easier way to do fs nosegrinds on a round rail is to do them with your truck hanging over, people most likely did fs nosegrinds like this before crooked grinds were invented. So at the time, those would have just been called nosegrinds, since that's all that existed.

    Trick naming prioritises more popular and common tricks and make names shorter. If every single Pro tweaks a bit the FS Nosegrind on a round rail, this became the default Nosegrind, same as a straight Nosegrind on a ledge. Whoever wants to call it FS Overcrook played too much THPS.

    Good talk. What about the nose blunt or front blunt on a rail thats more of a pop over noseslide or pop over back tail. Also, is it a blunt if you dont pop back over to the side you came from? We could go on for hours about this.

      They might not name them out loud, but they still know what they are going to do before they do it. So they are naming them in their head, even if it's only through the process of visualising the trick.

    They are different tricks, done different ways and one is harder than the other.

    • @JustinBA007

      Suski grinds only have a backside version, and salad grinds only have a frontside version. Also, Bennet grinds and Barley grinds are just frontside and backside versions of the same trick.
      So no, not every other grind has a frontside and backside version.

    • @oldgregg86.

    • @JustinBA007
      @JustinBA007 22 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@oldgregg86. well, sorry to break it to you but they are in fact, just 5-0s. Fs 5-0s have a tendency to rotate frontside, especially when you're doing them on a tall hubba. And when you're ollieing into it, if you don't ollie far enough towards the ledge, you can compensate by pushing your back leg forward to catch it, and do it crooked accidentally very easily. BS 5-0s also have a tendency to rotate a little bit.
      Plus, both those tricks don't look cool enough for anyone to want to do intentionally. Maybe if some pro started doing them it'd be named after them, but until that catches on they're just 5-0s.

  • @TehAwesomer
    @TehAwesomer วันที่ผ่านมา

    This is a great explanation of why the folksonomy of tricks is ambiguous. I think there's a distinction between the two tricks but it has more to do with intent and fine details like when the truck is pinched and for how long, and I'm not really going to downgrade, like, a crook on a ledge that sticks and gets momentarily un-pinched as a "nose grind" when it's clear the skater was trying to do a crook and functionally kept the board in the crook position the whole time. Similarly, I wouldn't call something a crook if the skater wasn't intending to do a crook, lands mostly straight and then his back foot drifts crook because of the pinch. Tricks done by humans in physical reality are not video games, and such details should probably really only count in like, Olympic scoring, lol.

    the moment i realized fakie backside and nollie frontside are the same thing and the only difference is an arbitrary separation of stance is the last time i tried to gatekeep any skateboarding nomenclature, cause we are all idiots about this stuff. if one person is drawing with their dominant right hand, and another person replicates their drawing with their respective dominant left hand, we don't call one a 'upside down' drawing. in skateboarding, if it feels good and matches the intention you had in your head when you film it, thats it, no one can say shit.
