To Shiloh: A Definition

Shi⋅loh [shahy-loh]

noun

1. a national park in SW Tennessee: Civil War battle 1862.
2. an ancient town in central Palestine, west of the Jordan River.

-verb

1. to crouch once in order to attempt a flatground skateboarding trick, and for one or many reasons, to stand again, and re-crouch in order to attempt the trick once more. The term references a switch varial heelflip performed in a line by Shiloh Greathouse; it is anachronistic misleading in that Mr. Greathouse landed his trick, while the vast majority of the time the attempted trick is not landed.

Example:
1. "Damn, I Shilohed on that nollie heel and then I knew there was no way in hell I was landing it."
