Edgy.
Eric pilots a nollie lipslide down a handrail. This was a popular trick amongst the rail skating pros and ams at the turn of the century. I've only ever landed two of them to forward on a flat bar and that was well over a decade ago. I've done more than a few nollie lipslides on ledges and flat bars to fakie, but the trick is awkward and doesn't feel good. But that one evening I was skating with this kid who coincidentally is also named Eric and he encouraged me to give the trick a try on the flat bar. I successfully did two and have never done a nollie lipslide since.
Vert Is Dead will be back on Monday, October 20th.
Work's been really busy and I'm burned out so I'm taking a week off. I'll see what I can come up with and then it will be something demonic for Halloween week.
