What trick tip would you like to see next?!

So glad that I've found this video! Especially the point with using the head to find the perfect balance while grinding helped me so much! I always(!!) got stuck in grinding position and over. But trying to keep the head in line with the front foot really helps! Thank you! This wasn't mentioned in any other video on YouTube, so I'm really grateful.

This might be the greatest trick tip ever. Every base is covered and each explanation is practical and simple. ❤

Great job. I recently realized how crucial the approach angle is and only clicked the video to see if you address it. You nailed it.

Wish I knew this before spraining my ankle 12 times trying to be crooks on a shakey small rail

i would recommend going parallel instead of an angle since you take the momentum with you instead of smashing it into the rail.
you need less speed that way but you have to look more over your shoulder.

180 bs nosegrind. Getting the wheel over and problems with committing getting over and on top to sit. I either get timid with getting over which has you sticking to nose

I still keep instantly falling off when I try to crooked grind when I'm putting my weight on my heel I just don't get it🥴

Man, coming out is bar far the hardest to me. But the shortest section of your video.

Nope. Approach PARALLEL or you will take much harder falls.
