How to Crooked Grind on a ledge the easiest way in 2023! Skateboard

What this video teaches

Xavier Dailey teaches the crooked grind on a ledge, focused on approach angle and keeping body weight centered over the nose to avoid a primo slide-out. [FLAG: this is a ledge crooked-grind tutorial, not the overcrook specifically; included because the pinch and nose-weighting technique carries directly into the overcrook.]

Key tips

• 1Roll in parallel to the ledge rather than at an angle, so the board does not slide out when the nose hits
• 2Guide the nose into the ledge with your front foot as you pop, aiming the wheel to land right against the ledge edge
• 3Let the wheel pinch against the ledge to hold the grind while the board slides
• 4Keep your body weight stacked straight over the nose, almost as if standing on top of the ledge
• 5Drill the pop-in motion repeatedly on a lower or less intimidating ledge before pushing for a full slide
• 6At the end of the slide, press the tail down slightly, then the nose, to generate the pop needed to exit cleanly
