Skateboarding Trick Tip Lazy Grind EK by Evan Kuzava is a skateboarding tutorial for the Suski Grind. Evan Kuzava demonstrates the lazy grind, a frontside crook-and-smith hybrid built on the same fundamentals a suski grind needs (a solid backside 50, a confident crooked grind, and a clean nollie exit).
What this video teaches
Evan Kuzava demonstrates the lazy grind, a frontside crook-and-smith hybrid built on the same fundamentals a suski grind needs (a solid backside 50, a confident crooked grind, and a clean nollie exit). This is a different hybrid on the opposite truck, but the foot-placement and missed-lock fixes apply to pinch-style grinds generally.
Key tips
- Warm up with a backside 50-50 and a confident crooked grind before combining them into a hybrid lock
- Approach very parallel and crouch low into a soft ollie so the truck can lock cleanly
- Dip your rear foot lower than the truck instead of lifting your rear knee like a nose grind, closer to a smith-style dip
- Lean forward and bend your knees continually through the grind to keep your balance as you slide
- Crouch and snap to nollie out cleanly rather than just riding off the end
- If the truck keeps missing the lock and slipping into a boardslide, try ollieing in lower next time
- Angle your rear foot so it won't hang up on the ledge, and move your front foot up above the bolts for an easier slide
- Expect a lot of attempts before this hybrid lock feels consistent, since it isn't a clean grind or a clean slide
