I thought this was cool. I’d known for a long time the skater who invented the “mute air” was deaf, not mute, so it does seem a bit more fitting.
Grosso’s input has popularised the name “Monty grind” in place of backside Smith grind*, but I’m also not sure “Weddle air” will cacth on to replace “mute air”.
Although, if it’s referred to as a “Weddle grab” in the new Tony Hawk videogame maybe it will. Think how many people call a one-foot ollie an “Ollie North” after seeing that in the THPS games!
*For reference, Mike Smith first invented the “Smith stop” - a frontside, static Smith stall. Alan Losi then took it to a travelling grind (which creates some confusion as some people retrospectively call it a Losi grind, but that’s already the name for another trick he invented, which is like a BS disaster/liplslide with the front truck kind of feebled). Then Monty Nolder developed the backside Smith grind, hence “Monty grind”.
