Can someone define the words "Sesh", "El Toro", and "Mongo"?

(Sorry if this is spam.)

Sesh= a session like a long period of skating

El toro is a famous 20 stair

and Mongo is a style of pushing where you push with your front foot and your back foot is on the tail

To add to the post above, a sesh doesn't really have to be long, but can be.


And didn't they take down the rail on El Toro? You should check some videos, its a pretty sick set.

Right, back again with some more words for you to help me with.

When your trucks are so loose, when you turn one way really hard, the deck comes down and hits the wheel. If you really jam the wheels and deck together you can lock it up and then, well you fall.

It can also happen when you land. It happens to me a lot when 3 flipping off things, i'll land with a little to much weight on my right foot toe side and get bad wheal bite, not allowing me to roll it out. (even though I've landed on it.)

its hard to land flip tricks when your getting wheelbite because you board is so unstable.

It's more in your own axis then your board.

What is razor tail?

^Scraping away at the board so much that the wood literally shaves away and becomes very sharp and razor like, usually on the tail due to tail stopping, which is why I foot brake.

Razor tail leads to less pop, which leads to lower, more ugly looking tricks.

Ah, I think that's coming to be on my board. Oh noez. I should learn to foot brake.

^Yeah, but then it tears the bottom of your shoe up...lol

My last pair tore all the way through my sock, and started cutting my foot..

but i was trying to slow down before an intersection after a huge hill that i have to bomb every day to get to school..

so..my situation may be worse than yours.

nah i dont think ive ever tail stopped on my board and ive got MAD razor tail. It happens just from doing tricks specially on pop shuvits , 3flips tricks liek that. Plus razor tail doesnt necessarily lead to lower pop either

i agree with the rest though.

learning much ryan180?
