What this video teaches
Manuel Herrera answers a viewer-requested tutorial on the backside overcrook, recommending backside nose grind, backside lipslide, and backside 50-50 as prerequisites. He frames it as mentally simpler than it looks once you commit to landing directly on the pinch.
Key tips
- Have backside nose grind, backside lipslide, and backside 50-50 comfortable before trying the backside overcrook
- Drill the ollie-and-land motion on flat ground first to rehearse the landing position without the obstacle
- Apply pressure onto the front truck on the pinch side, not centered on the board
- Land directly onto that pinch on top of the rail or ledge rather than sliding into position gradually
- Stay on top of the trick without leaning one way or the other; if anything, lean slightly in toward the obstacle
- Treat it like a frontside crooked grind that resembles a nose grind: pop, land on the pinch side, and keep grinding through
