What this video teaches
Taeho Favre teaches the flat-ground crooked grind with two hacks aimed at the most common failure points: losing the pinch mid-grind and misjudging the approach angle. [FLAG: this covers the standard crooked grind, not the overcrook specifically; included for the shared pinch/foot-angle technique that transfers directly.]
Key tips
- Have ollies, backside 50-50s, and backside boardslides solid before learning the crooked grind
- Angle your front foot slightly into the nose pocket rather than keeping it flat like a regular ollie stance
- Load your weight onto the side of the nose, not straight down the middle, to create the wheel pinch that keeps the grind locked
- Approach the ledge or box parallel with your shoulders open toward it rather than at a steep angle
- Pop while standing still next to the box first to drill the locked-in crook position before adding speed
- Keep pressure on the pinch throughout the grind or your body will fall forward off the board mid-slide
