How To: FEEBLE GRIND - Easy Tutorial

What this video teaches

Nick (NinjaLifestyle) teaches the feeble grind as a blend of a back board slide and a back 50-50, with the back truck lock-in as the whole trick. He recommends a slow, creeping progression, popping onto the rail at low speed before building up to full speed, and diagnoses the two most common failures as sticking (too much weight forward) and slipping back (an incomplete truck lock-in), both fixed by centering your weight directly over the middle of your stance.

Key tips

• 1Think of the feeble as a blend of a back board slide and a back 50-50, with everything focused on getting the back truck locked on
• 2Pop onto the rail the same way you would for a board slide, then lean back slightly, just enough to start sliding, not so much that you overbalance
• 3Start by creeping up on the rail slowly and popping in at low speed, then build up speed once the pop feels natural
• 4As you approach the end, level the board out and come in straight so all four wheels land at the same time
• 5If you're sticking or lurching forward, you're carrying too much weight on your front foot, shift it back toward center
• 6If you're slipping backward off the rail, your back truck never fully locked in, focus on committing the pop deeper onto the rail
• 7Stay balanced right in the middle of your stance, not too far forward and not too far back, for the most consistent lock-in
• 8Once the feeble feels locked in and smooth, start experimenting with variations like a feeble 180 or a feeble-to-50-50
