How To BS Salad Grind!

What this video teaches

Mogely Herrera compares the backside salad grind directly to a back 5-0, explaining that the same lock-in gets tweaked and pinched to the side to become the salad. He walks through the pop, the slight turn into the rail, and the shoulder discipline needed to keep the grind straight instead of sliding into a backside blunt.

Key tips

• 1Build a solid backside 5-0 first, since the salad grind locks in from the same spot on the rail
• 2Pop and turn only slightly into the rail; turning too much drops you into a backside blunt instead
• 3Get into the diagonal corner of the rail rather than the flat side used for a straight 5-0
• 4Pinch the truck and hold your body straight once locked in, keeping shoulders square to the direction of travel
• 5Keep your weight pressed into that pinch the whole way through the grind rather than letting it relax
• 6If your shoulders start turning, let the trick 180 out naturally instead of fighting it
• 7Ease off the pressure gradually on exit so the trick doesn't snap you into an unwanted blunt slide
