Who Did It First? Krooked Grind "K-Grind"

I was raised believing that the "Krooked Grind" AKA "K-Grind" was invited by Eric Koston so I had to ask some OGs if I was right or wrong.....

noseslides were the same thing, wheels were small and you would go into krook, also doing a regular backside nosegrind or nosegrind your going to krook like wades krook on hubba.

[@gregoryhill8244]

Yep in H street next

[@snuff411]

Wasn’t it called a Pointer Grind before it became the K Grind

[@rwirtz77]

guy mariano does one in video days. it wld be an overcrook but its a doublesided curb so its a crooked grind. its also a grey area but when wheels got small noseslide and noseblunt slide would go into krook so basicly when wheel got small all of use back then did them. we were machineing wheels down on a lath and skating before small wheels were even available. me and my friends all did that stuff. Koston ollie into krook on a normal ledge in h street next i went and copied that though, put small wheels on your board and go do bluntslide and noseblunt slides on a double sided curb and your going to krook, i did krook transfers way back then because i was doing noseblunt transfers. seriously the entire country everyone was doing it. its like saying who wore big pants first? and everyone goes well how big?

Koston grind🎉🎉🎉🎉

Karl watson did. He told me. Chance encounter when I him in 2020. Such a great humble guy.

[@hover_roller_balance_boards]

I bet KW did the 1st switch K grind tho. I rem him being more of a switch guy. You’d think Henry Sanchez or early H street vid? The name K grind sounds like Kosten or Karl

[@typerightseesight]

wasn't the fandangle a special trick in tonyhawk until koston actually learned how to do it?

[@normanl.6891]

He didnt land it tho

[@typerightseesight]

He's totally landed one. ever. lol@@normanl.6891

[@MannysWorld]

Yes but it was a bail that turned trick haha

[@typerightseesight]

I remember first learning crooks down a wooden bench we dragged to a staircase in middle school thinking does it count as a fandangle cuz it slid because there was nothing to grind on. lol!@@MannysWorld

[@Assasinnationtv]

Paterka did it first, Koston popularized it

[@MannysWorld]

Getting mixed stories

[@Assasinnationtv]

Everyone knows it was really Sean Malto

[@GRiNDWiZARD187]

[@KAST403]

No malto manual shit

[@elquepasadeti]

Siempre he creído que el krooked grind no fue un truco inventado de manera consciente. Estoy seguro de que nació de manera casual intentando hacer un "Nose slide" Quién fue el primero realmente!? En mi opinión nadie lo sabe!
