Is there an established name for hitting a jump, leaning way over the bars and buzzing your helmet on the front tire? I've been hitting the visor on my full face for a while but I just learned that I can also hit my skid lid......yeah pics would be nice but I'm not that techy. So, whats it called?
Official name of trick?

Kiss of death
I though that was only no-footed, maybe I need to step it up
its an old skool kiss of death
It's a "Visor Grinder". "Griz Air" was another name I believe. Kiss of Death comes from new school mx obviously, and the trick you are refering to has been around since the stone age. Bob Hanna may also get some partial credit here as well.
The guys I grew up riding with would call it a "Hannah" when we got way over the front. Hitting a visor on the tire is easy, we'd often get our ear next to the axle.
Yeah, visor grinder.
"Kiss of Death" has your feet straight up, like an extreme "superman" and a "Hannah" put together.

Thanks, I've started kicking one leg way back to "Griz" it out. It is pretty old skool, the one big hit in our indoor park just shoots you straight up with little hang time, so this is an easy trick to pull, and hey, who else has hookworm skid marks on their lid?
