Grabs Off Rails = Lame

[Redstar]

How come so many people do grabs off rails? It's like their thinking "I did a two-trick combo, 5,000 points!" They look super lame, usually their rushed and they only grab for like a second.

Yeah right man! I was at a contest last Saturday, this guy 50-50's down about 1/2 a 42ft. kink rail, hops off it and does this wicked sick method, it looked so awesome.

[Redstar]

Sry I didnt clarify, i mean people that grind the 1 foot high, 5 foot long flat bar, box etc and indy off, stuff like that

[forumboarder]

it may look stupid but its practice. i mean your not gonna hop on a 5 foot high rail and try grabbing off without ever trying it

[Redstar]

I would. I like going for something out of the blue and just stomping it. First rail I ever hit was like 4-5 feet high and 12 feet long with a kicker up to it (no ride on)

No offense, but thats just stupid. Although sure, some people can just start there, most of us gotta learn to crawl before we can walk.

[forumboarder]

i agree with you, you cat just buy a board and go off a 40 foot kicker. you cant expect to be the best either,they make lower rails and smaller jumps to practise. and then people talk sh*t to those kids saying they suck or w/e the kids who try on small rails and fall and thats total bull because everyone started as a beginer not knowing what to do and alot of people forget that

[Redstar]

LoL, I'm not making fun of beginners for hitting small rails. Just that you don't need to practice grabbing off a rail.

who are you to say what people should and shouldnt do...its snowboarding man...no rules..who cares if you look stupid sometimes...if its someones boost for confidence that they can do that then they might be the person the next year kicking ass on the hill...atleast they try something

[Dirty Doug]

Yeah, its all about creativity and what you do is how you express yourself. If thats what they're feelin like pullin, why should you rant on them just cuz you don't like it.

[Redstar]

Ranting? WTF? Posting a message on the internet is ranting? Really?

[Eastsideslider7]

yeah its ranting when you make a statement in an asshole tone that bashes on other people to boost your own ego...

"OMG i hit a 12 foot rail...OMGzzzz"

[Redstar]

LoL, don't be mad just because I was good when I started. Just because I didn't ride around doing 1 foot indys off 2 foot rails doesn't mean you should hate me. I wasn't ranting, just stating my opinion.

[someloser*rider]

ever heard of something called "positive not negative" :D

[Redstar]

Ever heard of eat my ass?

[someloser*rider]

see look at ya...there ya go again...your not too good at actually answering questions eh?

[Redstar]

Why would I answer the most retarded question ever? Positive not negative? You're an idiot.

[nnw06]

Redstar, are you actually Peter Line in disguise? If not stop dissing on people worse then you, because there are always people better then you as well. In fact, even if you are peter line, what good does it do you to diss on people who want to try a grab off a small rail?

your such a f*ck....amusing

[Dirty Doug]

your such a f*ck....amusing

I think this will be the first flame war I've seen on this forum since....Well, since I joined way back in February, I think.

[SnoBordPrincess]

ok, time to stop the personal attacks, it would be a shame to close this thread.

[someloser*rider]

well sorry but he's dissing people for trying something, I mean c'mon

[SnoBordPrincess]

well sorry but he's dissing people for trying something, I mean c'mon
yeah I know, but calling each other names is pointless.

[Eastsideslider7]

u think a 12 footer was "good"?

try a 30 footer battleship rail stomped on the first try...

[Redstar]

I said the first rail I ever hit, not the last one I did. That rail was like 5 years ago. I just started the thread because I had an opinion and they started the flaming first.

What good does it do to point the finger? And actually, "Ever heard of eat my ass?", your comment, was the 1st offensive statement.

[Redstar]

Well a 30 footer battleship first try is ****ing amazing good for you.

As for what I said being the first offensive statement who cares? They started with "You think you're sooo good, blah blah blah" Boo frickin' hoo if I said something offensive in retaliation.

[Eastsideslider7]

if all you're gonna do is whine you can go to another forum... we have more important things to do here than resort to childish insults...

[Powder.fan.]

wow. i think everyone here is over racting to his post... he just said that it looks lame when ppl do 1/2 second grabs off rails, he didn't say that it wasn't ok to start somewhere and work your way up, just that he thinks its stupid when ppl who can acually do bigger stuff, still do pathetic grabs off small rails...

[Redstar]

^^^ EXACTLY!

and btw Eastslider, you obviously don't have anything better to do seeing as how everytime I make a post 3 people reply to it before I check it again.

[Eastsideslider7]

most of us here answer questions and help solve problems that people have and dont make threads complaining about how Lame things are...

[Redstar]

So if you only answer threads to help others why are you replying to this thread hmmmmm? But I don't want you to stop because I know a few people who are really getting a kick out of this, me included.

[Eastsideslider7]

i said i try not to waste my time creating rant threads such as this one and concentrate my efforts on aiding people instead of boosting my own ego by bashing others about their skill level...
