Ziggy Banks walks through his backside suski grind on both rail and ledge, describing it as a backside 5-0 tweaked so the back wheel smashes down into a half-tail, half-50 lock, and warns that trying to ride it out flat will send you flying.

Key tips

  • Pop into the grind like you're going for a backside 5-0, aiming for the middle ground between a tailslide and a 50-50 lock
  • Smash the back wheel down as you lock in rather than staying up on top, or the board will roll straight over
  • Once you feel the wheel walking or sliding into the lock, freeze and hold that position instead of trying to ride it flat
  • On rails, lock onto the wheel closest to you, on ledges lock onto the wheel closest to the ledge itself, or you'll roll off
  • Ledges are easier to learn the suski on than rails, start there if you're new to the trick
  • Expect the board to want to roll over if you don't fully commit to the smashed-down wheel position
  • Hold the lock and slide it out rather than trying to pop early once you're settled in
