It took me a few tries to fully grasp what Dylan Elliott was doing here. At first I thought, feeble back Smith on a ledge...rad. But after a few views, you'll notice the board shuvs between both tricks.
If you've ever done a feeble front shuv, you know that a little nudge from your back foot does the trick. But doing it mid grind into another grind is something else altogether. Don't blink, or you'll definitely miss it.

The comments naturally exploded with wonder. Did his board glitch? Is this legal? What kind of sorcery is this? WTF just happened? Each question as fair as the last. Whatever the consensus, there's no denying it's a rad one, and definitely not something you see every day.
Dylan's feed has a solid blend of street skating and bangers at his local park, but this wizardry above is definitely one of his most viewed videos, and for good reason. By the looks of it, I have to believe he's done this trick a few times, but maybe not? Either way, he stomps the landing with confidence and let's his board dance nonchalantly in the meantime. There's a physics lesson in here somewhere.
You never quite know what you'll see at your local park on any given day. But you can bet you'll see someone like Dylan out there chasing dream tricks like this.
