What this video teaches

Aaron Kyro (Braille) demonstrates the backside feeble grind on a low flat bar, framing it as one of the easiest rail tricks because the back truck locks in more securely than a 50-50. He shows how a worn groove develops in the trucks over repeated grinds and makes the lock-in progressively easier, and stresses full commitment on the first attempt as the main mental hurdle.

Key tips

  • Learn board slides (and optionally 50-50s) before attempting this trick, and progress straight from a board slide into the feeble
  • Choose a low, flat bar to start so the truck-to-rail lock-in is easier to feel
  • Approach at a slight angle so the rail sits at your backside, then ollie and pop the front truck up and over the bar
  • Land with your back truck directly on the rail while the board itself also rests against the rail, balancing weight between the two
  • Expect it to feel like a board slide at first, keep pushing through the awkward locked-in sensation instead of bailing early
  • Let repeated grinds wear a groove into your trucks, once that groove forms the lock-in becomes almost automatic
  • Near the end of the grind, pull the board up slightly and straighten out before rolling away for a cleaner finish
  • Commit fully on the first attempt rather than hesitating, hesitation is what causes most bail-outs
