Am I the only person thinking there’s something pompous about slo-moing footage of yourself on Instagram? Yeah, I know posting footage of yourself is pompous in the first place, but it’s what Instagram is for, in a way, and I am guilty of it.
That trend of slo-moing like half a trick is horrible too.
Yeah yeah I’m stuck in the past I suppose.

He goes fast too and the clips would look so rad at full speed. Someone should have a word.

aw man i really like Daclin’s slow mo clips. he might be the only one and its usually some completely nuts slappy fakie hurricane-y thingy

Yeah it’s always a crazy slappy fakie hurricane thingy, and they’re amazing, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen one at full speed. Every clip ever, going back years, is slomo-ed. Just give us the full speed clip too, maybe, please Jér?

Gustav Tønnesen skating a double kink rail to some kind of Scandinavian metal or whatever that is. Didn’t expect that. :dizzy_face:

What is the proper nomenclature for kinked rails?

I hear people say double kink for rails that have one kink but two down rails.

That would just be a kink in my mind.

Kink is like the one Duffy back smithed. Down, kink, flat. Double kink is two down rails with a kink.

I’d say any vertical angle counts as a kink, no matter if the rail starts flat or going down.

Double kink:

Triple kink:

Sometimes referred to as ‘a ski jump’.

I count the kinks as any time there’s an angle/kink in the rail you got to get through, not the number of flat sections
