PRACTICING CROOKED GRINDS

Today we're practicing the crooked grind as I give a few pointers and touch on the key points of the trick. I've already given a more thorough tutorial of this trick at the link below if you're interested:

Thanks for tuning in!

Good tip on not ollieing to high. That is my problem, calibrating the Ollie. I get tossed forward. Always appreciate your tips.

Still working on my frontside 5050s. Just started. Been skating since 2001 on and off. Landed my first one on a small step :)

This video is exactly what I need right now. I can get in and slide a crooked grind pretty consistently but getting out of em is where I struggle. D: Hopefully can get one soon.

Always the best videos come to your channel learn new tricks all the time

but when you miss the coping and the trucks don't lock, that shit is scary ;) takes you by surprise when you slide out at mach speeds ;)

Love that I look up a quick tip and see a clip from LBJ. Keep it up!

[BlackMarketHoney]

Awesome! I like how your back foot rolls and helps with the pop off. Like you nollie out. Looks slick either way!

[TheValentin]

Thanks it reallly helps! Sometimes I just lose crooked grinds and it’s frustrating

[TheAdrianVillasenor]

You must've read my mind homie. Been on and off watching your k grind videos for the past year. In the past week, I'm the closest to getting this on lock than I've ever been. Just rewatched your tutorial this morning. Thank you.

Hey Will, love the channel. I have a rare request, which I realize there may not be enough demand for to warrant a video, but I’ll leave it here just in case.

You made a video on (kick)flipping into tricks in general - I would love to see a video on flipping out of tricks in general. I’m at a stage of progression in my skating where I’m starting to be able to form flip tricks out of 5-0s, tailslides, etc., but could really use some pointers. I realize this is a more advanced topic that won’t appeal to as many, but I’m sure there are others in a similar boat. You could cover flipping out of different slides/grinds; for example, flipping out of nose/tailslides is likely much different than flipping out of 5-0s, nosegrinds, smiths, crooks, etc. The technique for flipping out of tricks is way different than what’s required to just do them on flat. As well, normal heel/kickflips out seem different than doing tricks out that also rotate, like tre flips.

You should def do it cause there are hardly any tips on YouTube about flipping OUT of tricks.

I understood how to place my truck on the curb, I am this close to lend my first bs krook, thanks a lot. There is many "how to..." on youtube but they are rarely pedagogical.

Kept sticking it at PA yesterday, this video helps i'm hyped and confident gonna land today to fakie as well.💯🤝🏾

[frostshock]

Lipslides, thanks for putting out these videos they are nice quick and to the point. Thanks for your time.

[bluebooper]

We love you man! Thanks for the help and advice!

[kwote]

Cool video. I'd definitely like to see a fakie big heel video. There's a real shortage of videos on that trick and I'd really like to see that trick covered on your channel. Thanks!

[ojhemmiez]

I will definitely try this on my next day off! Thanks!

[TURYMANS]
