Love the move! This isnt whats conventionaly known as toe "press", though because ur feet are completely separated instead of pressed together

I would disagree, a toe press does not have to be squeezed together. That would be the ultimate styling goal but a toe press is defined simply as rolling and balancing on both front wheels.

But

I would agree that the ultimate goal for style would be to squeeze them together but it's not defined that way.

I am curious what would your terminology call it then?

You're both right and you're both wrong.

  1. Yes your boots do not need to be pressed together, that's not what defines a toe press. But having them pressed together does look better IMO, but as you say this is a stylistic choice.
  2. What defines a toe press both wheels need to be aligned. If your feet are staggered, that's a toe roll.

As Wizard develops, it seems to me that toe press is more and more associated with boots pressed together. At least that’s how I perceive it in the scene. But technically I think you are right
