i took 7b for smatch when I was young dunb and full of cum, but after doing 50+ dynos at 7b i soon realisied how easy smash was, but try some real 7b dynos and compaire

vin rouge is neither 7a nor easy for the grade. its pretty standard 7a+. its harder than the roaches undercut dyno, which incidentally is all about standing up fast, so its not really reachy, most people are capable of catching the top with their chin if they do it right.

froggy dick is similar grade to smatch.

vin rouge - what's the standard method? i was going right foot on good hold, left foot on little dimply slippy smear thing, wondered if it might have been easier with both feet high on good hold, but felt a bit bunched that way.

dunno what "standard" is but if you got to 1:15 on this video you can see q-ball doing it:

Vin Rouge - One foot on the good hold and one on the ground dimply bit seemed to work for me. I think I tried it once with both on the rail but as you say it's a bti awkward.

The left foot seemed a bit rubbish bit with a good squeek it gave you just enough to get a good push with the right.

There's so many cool dynos.  My favourites are ones with tricks, not just a simple pull hard dyno.  I especially like the 3rd generation type moves where you dyno and use an intermediate foothold to get more height.  These (in my opinion) are the most technical and fun.
Grades?  Who cares, it's all about the leap!

sounds like the percy dyno at hobby moor

[GCW]

Not one I know, Jim.
I should have shown you some of my silly dyno additions at Brownstones.
