SKATE HACKS: How to FEEBLE GRIND Easy

What this video teaches

This tutorial frames the backside feeble as the natural first grind to learn since it closely mirrors a regular board slide, and lays out a low-slow-short progression: start on a low rail, ollie in slow, and only grind a short section until the lock-in feels automatic. It gives detailed troubleshooting for both failure modes, slipping into a board slide from too much turn or too little ollie, and nose-diving on exit from carrying too much weight forward, plus the reminder that a well-waxed rail is essential for the feeble to slide at all.

Key tips

• 1Have board slides down solid, and ideally backside 50-50s too, before starting on backside feebles since the trick sits between the two
• 2Follow the low, slow, short rule, pick a low rail, ollie in at a controlled pace, and only grind a short section at first
• 3Approach at a slightly wider angle than a board slide, and ollie a bit higher so the back truck actually locks on
• 4Load pressure onto the heel side of your back foot to create the pinch that holds the grind, keep almost all your weight aligned over that back foot
• 5Keep your front foot light, it's only there to keep the board in the feeble position, don't lean into it
• 6Make sure the rail is well waxed since a sticky rail fights the feeble far more than it fights a 50-50
• 7If you slip into a board slide, you likely turned too much or didn't ollie high enough, fix the aim and pop, not the exit
• 8Keep your weight on the back foot all the way through the exit and straighten the board early to avoid nose-diving on landing
