    Earlier you had a video with a no comply on a quarter pipe into a tail grind. Or something like that. Would that make for a good tutorial?

    Been watching this on repeat! You and Al have been crushing it with the content. Would love to see an in-depth tutorial on the backside 50-50. I can’t figure out how you guys just glide right into them. Can’t get a consistent pinch to save my life

    as far as the grooves in the trucks go, if anyone is interested in that, Mini Logo trucks shape is a bit more contoured like what you are is mentioned when you get them new.

    Same….when I finally learned front carve grinds/double truckers it caused me to develop this bad habit of NEVER lifting my front trucks….I’m re-teaching myself how to hold onto regular fs grinds (not gonna call them stand up grinds but definitely “huck my beer gut over” when I slash

    I do frontside grinds mainly on small ramps. I learned them on my 2ft mini ramp. Maybe it's just a small ramp thing but I have found if 3 factors are in place when I go back in, I never hang up. Even if I do super weak 45 degree kick turns out of my frontside grind it works. That is, when I do the kick turn out all my weight must be on my back heel. My back heel side wheel needs to be right up next to the coping. Like a drop in I need to focus on getting my front wheels smashed down on the ramp. If I do those three things I roll away. Not sure if that works on taller ramps. I need to get up the guts and just try it.
