Okay

Willy is like smith but on the front trucks instead, right?
Then what's Over Willy (its on EA skate.)

And what's the difference between crooks and overcrooks?

Overcrooks are like blunts, or more specifically, an under-rotated noseblunt. They look sweet. :biggrin:

A Overcrook is where the board crosses the rail before connecting the front truck and nose to it. In effect, you ollie over the rail before turning the nose in to land in a crooked grind. More difficult than a crooked because your momentum is taking you away from the rail not into it.

I assume an over-willy is the same.

Could you find a video? I'm not sure which one is which

It's a good explanation though eh? It does it for me!

I saw a video a while ago of a kid passing an overcrook off as a noseblunt but I couldn't find it. What don't you understand about the trick?

Kay

Are you actually ollieing over the object and doing a crooked?

Like a BS crook would be equivalent to a FS over crook?

I would look the same once you're on the rail if that's what you mean.

an overcrook is the crooked grind equivalent of a lipslide/boardslide

willy grind, made famous by alex maul. ex flip skater - i think he rides for santa cruz now.
its basically a lazy k grind, where you dont lift up your back foot.

overkrooks is almost like you are going into a nose blunt, but instead of going all the way, you land in a k grind over the rail.

(its like a lipslide version of a k grind, if that helps you out)

Okay, What's the difference between crooks and overcrooks?

An Overcrooked is the Nosegrind's version of a Salad Grind, whereas a Crooked is the Nosegrind's version of a Suski.

An Overcrooked (Overcrook) is like a halfway trick beetween Nosebluntslide and Nosegrind.

Downcrooked.
Over Willys are called Downcrookeds (Downcrook's) or Anchor grinds

Here's a FS Downcrooked.
