didnt want to bump a year old thread but this issue needs to b addressed. wats with all the heel dragging?????? its straight up DISGUSTING and CHEATING! id say 90-95% of videos been released since middle of summer show the rider(s) obviously using their heels to help grind. Benj Friant, everybody on that new Eagle Video, all over the Proto dvd. now i always make sure i never use my heel to aid my grinding or stalling in anyway. now if i can do it y cant "pros" at least do it? i kno from the old thread that ppl agree wit me but it seems times hav changed and if this has become the new standard in scooter riding i have to say im extremely dissapointed ):

do you even have a vid out that's close to benJ status? no? Thought so.

if you can pick on ONE little problem out of a whole video, you're a hypocrite. I was too busy watching BenJ do insane combos and crazy airs to give a half shit about his heel touching on some grinds, most of which were colossal grinds no one else would do.

calm down man i only used him as an example bc he is sooo damn good but i noticed he heel dragged. go look at my comment on his vid i never even said anything about it then. the only reason i bring it up now is because ive noticed it in sooooo many videos. i dont let it ruin entire videos but when i see it those moments just make me dissapointed.

does it truly matter? comeon so they drag their heel if it helps them slow down and it helps one of the best riders we have like rob said then what does it matter plus i bet EVERYONE would "heel drag" grinding like a 20 stair rail so just chill about it

alrite obviously i just cant express my opinion without u getting butt hurt. and i really dont think this is nit picky at all, its a big deal to me cuz if they really are our best riders (which i agree with, i never said they sucked at anything else) then they should be able to grind without cheating. i mean i havnt even been riding for a year and a half yet and i dont ever heel drag so y cant all of these pros who hav been riding for so long not do it. and y would i stop watching videos thats just dumb haha.

and brandon if ur talking to me i got a copy at the premiere on the west coast.

as for Matt Mckeen hee is my idol wen it comes to rails but sadly he does it also, just look its pretty obvious.

and anthony yes i probly can especially since u hav pegs! now thats even worse lol

ask dustin nooner dylan crower vincent kudrna nick perez any of them they kno im really good at rails.
