What this video teaches
Pro skateboarder Steve Caballero gives a quick trick tip on the salad grind, tracing its origin to Eric Dressen twisting his hips mid-5-0 grind in the early 90s. He recommends mastering long frontside 5-0 grinds on coping first, then adding the hip twist and front foot point that turns it into a salad.
Key tips
- Master frontside 5-0 grinds on coping first, holding them long before adding any twist
- Once your 5-0 is solid, twist your hips to the side as you lock in; goofy-footed riders twist to the left, regular to the right
- Point your front foot outward as you twist your hips into the salad position
- Keep your body locked in place through the grind rather than letting the twist loosen your stance
- Twist your hips back to neutral as you come out of the grind to exit clean
- Think of the salad grind as an extended 5-0 with added hip rotation rather than a completely different trick
