How To Frontside Overcrook On Rails ( FS NOSEGRIND )

What this video teaches

Coyote Rob Shreds gives a detailed technical breakdown of the frontside overcrook on rails, addressing the naming debate up front before diving into alignment, the wheel-pin technique, and why the frontside version is harder to line up than backside. He recommends having frontside 50-50s and backside crooked grinds locked in before attempting it.

Key tips

• 1Nail frontside 50-50s and backside crooked grinds on a flat bar before attempting the frontside overcrook
• 2Set up like a frontside 50-50, coming in at a slight angle, and ollie up into the crook position rather than sliding into it
• 3Place your front foot slightly higher up than a standard 50-50 position so it can push farther forward into the crook lock
• 4Focus on keeping your body aligned straight over the rail, head, hips, and front foot in one line, so the board does not slip to either side
• 5Pin the inside wheel into the rail as quickly as possible on landing, before your body is fully turned sideways
• 6Do not put full weight on the wheel the instant it touches; let your rotation turn the board further sideways first for more surface contact
• 7Turning the board more sideways on landing, closer to a nose-blunt angle, gives more stability than landing barely turned
• 8Expect frontside alignment to be harder than backside because frontside approaches require more of an angle into the obstacle
