EASY Hack for Stand-Up Frontside 5-0's!

What this video teaches

RELATED-TRICK KEEP: this video teaches the stand-up frontside 5-0 on a mini ramp, the foundation grind that the salad grind builds on by adding a hip and foot turn. Chad Caruso covers foot positioning, leaning into the ramp to stay locked on the coping, and a hop technique for exiting cleanly, all directly transferable to learning the salad grind's entry and lock-in.

Key tips

• 1Set your front foot near the front bolts and your back foot just behind the back bolts so you can kick turn either direction
• 2Practice flying out of a quarter pipe and manualing to build the feel of getting on top of the coping before attempting the grind
• 3Turn frontside gradually on each approach, bringing the angle closer to the coping until you're nearly sideways with it
• 4Lean into the ramp and load pressure onto your heel once locked into the 5-0, rather than standing upright
• 5Sit into a squatting position and hold that weight into the ramp to keep the grind locked and consistent
• 6Use a small hop off the tail to pop your wheels clear of the coping and avoid hanging up on exit
• 7Build this 5-0 foundation solid before adding the hip twist and turn that turns it into a salad grind
