What this video teaches
A short, casual trick tip on the backside crooked grind, with the single biggest cue being to think ahead of the rail rather than aiming sideways directly at it, which produces a cleaner slide and an easier pop-out. [FLAG: covers backside crooked grind on a rail, a directly related setup to the overcrook rather than the overcrook itself.]
Key tips
- Place your front foot on the front two bolts so that shifting it forward lands you balanced on the nose
- Think ahead past the rail rather than popping straight sideways into it, which sets up a longer, more controlled slide
- Expect back crooks to slip out easily; treat the grind with extra caution on lock-in
- Push forward through the pop rather than committing your full weight straight down onto the rail
- Slide through the grind and pop out immediately once you reach your target point instead of riding it out too long
