HOW TO CROOKED GRIND LIKE KADER SYLLA!

Today we are breaking down kader sylla’s crooked grind technique. This is one of my favorite tricks but recently I’ve been really frustrated because this trick has been slipping away from me so after studying kader sylla’s crooked grind technique I’m hoping this can help me get crooked grinds on lock so I can crooked grind this red ledge over the manual pad today.

The 2 main takeaways from watching kader sylla’s crooked grind are first the position of his head and the position of his shoulder/arm. As kader Ollies up into the crooked grind you’ll notice his back shoulder and arm move in the direction that he came from. This helps kader hold the crooked grind back to regular so it doesn’t end up going to fakie or slipping into nose slide.

Next Kader’s head position is slightly inside the ledge. This position gives his body the leverage to push down and into the ledge to achieve that pinched crooked grind. Then as he exits the crooked grind this pinch releases helping him pop out of the crooked grind. Without the right head position he can’t get the right pressure to hold the pinch and without the pinch he can’t pop out.

That’s awesome dude. It reminds me of last summer where I finally stepped to doing a BS Noseslide on this ledge over a manual pad. Wanted to do it for years. Problem is that the park is 2 hours away and I only go a few times a year because of the winter (I’m in Wisconsin). Finally did it and have been thinking about a crooked grind. You just gave me some motivation. Thanks.

Man I haven’t even worked up the courage to start trying grinds at all yet 🤣 but I think crooked grinds are one of the coolest looking ones, I’ll be saving this vid for the day I get good enough to work on them 👍🏽

The kader crook was switch tho so I don’t think the head position and shoulder stuff translates to regular. It goes without saying that switch stuff isn’t as simple as doing the same thing you do regular with the opposite side of your body but still a dope crook.

Joe! I just watched the last BATB and my god! Have you seen Nick Holts 360 flip? It's off the charts!
I would love to see you put his technique to the test.
