What this video teaches
Jeremiah Johnson explains the overcrook grind, a frontside pinch grind built on crook and nose grind fundamentals. This is a different truck and a different trick from a suski, but the foot positioning, parallel approach, and balance cues are the same pinch-lock principles a suski grind relies on.
Key tips
- Get comfortable with basic frontside board, crook, and 50-50 grinds before attempting any pinch-style hybrid grind
- Position your front foot right up near the trucks so the board stays even instead of slipping around
- Keep your back foot tucked in the pocket rather than flat, a flat back foot invites a slip
- Approach as parallel as possible rather than at a steep angle to avoid missing the lock
- Balance the lean evenly, leaning too far one way sends you off the near side, too far the other sends you off the far side
- Tweak the grind once you're locked in solid rather than adding style before the lock is secure
- Pop out or lean back slightly at the end of the grind to exit cleanly instead of riding it out flat
- Keep the whole motion as straight as possible through the lock to stay controlled
