What this video teaches
SKATE HACKS breaks down the crooked grind as primarily a backside trick, stressing that the crookedness comes from tweaking the board into position rather than approaching at a wide angle. The video teaches a slow-motion practice drill: ollie into the crooked grind position on a small box or curb at standstill before adding speed, with a dedicated focus on the exit nudge (front foot forward, back foot kicks back) as the most commonly missed part.
Key tips
- Spread your feet wider than a normal ollie because you need the front foot to slide up onto the nose
- Come almost straight forward, not at a big angle; the crookedness comes from tweaking the board, not your approach
- Practice getting into the crooked grind position on a tiny box at standstill before adding speed
- Exit with a nudge: press the front foot forward like a nollie and kick the back foot back simultaneously
- You do not need to ollie high; focus your speed going forward so the grind travels forward
