The original photographer wants to reshoot the photo with the original skater but doesn’t like warm weather.

I just got sent an article about Cambridge Analytica as a facebook link…

:neutral_face:

They went bust a couple of years ago, can’t be that relevant.

You should only use your mate’s phone for stuff like this anyway. Like Ian Brown.

Apparently Blind are still going and people skate for them in an unironic way.

Weird week. One of our chickens passed away on Monday, my girlfriend was made redundant on Tuesday, and I’ve been ill with a gnarly cold since Wednesday. Stayed at home yesterday but had to go to work today. Feeling knackered now. Shaking and sweating.
On the plus side, I got Pete Thompson’s book from Legacy (thanks Ronny!) and new Half Cab Pros for a good price today.
Next week will be better.

Saw this in the new Vague and immediately thought, “Lovely! There’s Harry Lintell doing a brilliant front feeble down a handrail!”

But the caption says it’s an ‘Ollie over to backside Smith’. I didn’t really like Vague at first but I’m into it now so wondering if I’ve missed something where Smiths and feebles became interchangeable. It looks like a feeble to me, and where Reece is shooting from doesn’t make me think he came out backside, on the Smith side.

Can you ollie over into a backside Smith on a round rail, and come out frontside? Isn’t that a feeble? It’s Lintell and all but does he move his whole weight onto the other side and come out that way too?

I’d go with front feeble. But can we still say feeble?

This is definitely a frontside feeble grind.
People easily get lost with trick nomenclature these days it seems.

Think they mean he ollied into it from directly behind the rail ie. no fs or bs. Suppose it comes down to a matter of opinion then whether its a feeble or a smith but smith seems right.

if he’s going straight over the top then it’s a feeble for me. deffo agree on the no fs or bs though

Ah! That’s a thought.

I feel like whatever way Harry was thinking about it in his brain whilst doing would be the correct way to label it.

eg, you ollie over it, but you’re putting more weight into your back foot and pushing through would feel like a smith, but if you were pushing through your front foot and being light on the back foot, it would feel more like a feeble. Both would look the same though.

Over the back to Smith right?

Footage will decide.

So it’s an ollie over the top of the rail and he comes out on the same side as Reece here?
