anyone know the backstory of the nickname “89ers” when referring to fox’s waveshine combo? :foxmelee:

It refers to the wavedash angle used in super long waveshines. 89 degree angles aren't actually possible (I think ~73 is the best that doesn't get rounded to straight left/right), but the name is still sometimes used.
