There's gonna be comments about this so i'll address the comment I made about "nosegrinds/overcrooks". Every thrasher mag, every transworld mag, Leo Romero, Nyjah, Yuto, Reynolds, all call "overcrooks" on rails nosegrinds, because balancing a nosegrind on a round rail like a ledge is just something most people don't do. It IS technically an overcrook, but there's a big history where skateboarding basically decided on calling it a nosegrind. If you're a skateboarder, who ends up skating with a lot of people, a lot of those people will tell you, it's a nosegrind, some might say it's an overcrook, either way, you know what it means. but straight up, the best skateboarders in the world call it a nosegrind. 👊

I started skating in the early 2000s where the only content of skating you saw was either in magazines or the same skate videos you watched over and over in your town. If you paid attention you would notice that in the mags when someone is doing a FS overcrook on a round bar they would call it a nosegrind. That’s just how it was. There’s so much confusion about this trick. (And I can see why) Same with salads and suski grinds as well as nollie board slides and nollie lip slides. Either way it doesn’t matter. Call it whatever you like. It’s just skateboarding. Have fun with it .

Yeah, I think how much people get hung up on trick names is a bit silly. At least, you should never harass anyone because of it. If I'm eating a cheeseburger and call it a burger who cares, same as if I called it a basketball, I'm still eating it either way and it's gonna taste the same.

okay... what about the very first thing you talked about? A feeble vs. a smith has nothing to do with what direction you're coming from or what stance you're in. A feeble is when your front trucks go over the side of the rail you're on, and a smith stays on the same side.

Thrasher and Transworld used to get trick names wrong all the time, there wasn’t a logical reason they called fs overcrooks, nosegrinds. There is no reason to continue calling it a fs nosegrind aside from “nosegrinds are too hard…”, or for the sake of being contrarian.

5:0 on rails are much different from ledges, you have to be precise with where you put your back truck on. The best tip for them is to put all your weight on your back foot, stay above the rail, and lean back a little.

it's soooo much harder

I love your trick tip videos, they're so straight forward and no nonsense. Even if I'm not in a place to do them, I know I can come back to it when I'm ready.

Some of the most fun sessions I've had are just a rail in a carpark/netball court. Solid informative video! Now to actually land go some harder grinds.

Your videos are the best! They always gets me pumped to go out and just focus on the fundamentals, which in turn make me a more advanced skater. As a 36-year-old father, Its a lot harder to stay on my game, but you keep reigniting my desire to get out there and shred. You da man! Quick question, can’t seem to figure out how to fix my trucks from making my board drift /turn to one side. Like if I push my board in front of me, it drifts to the left. Assuming since I’m regular and bc that’s my heel side , that is the cause, but is there a fix for that?? Maybe harder bushings?? Would be nice to throw my board down tail facing forward and not feel awkward lol. Might be wishful thinking tho…

I’ve always been intimidated with grinding and avoided it, this video inspired me to give it a try, thanks.

Slides and grinds scared me as well, there's no shame on wearing a helmet practising if you don't feel safe... I did and I still have a couple in the back of my car, in case I try to learn some new ones. Grinds/slides on stairs are a no no for me,

I wish I saw this when I was 12. You are helping so many new skaters in a huge way.

Thanks for this tutorial! Very helpful //// I wish the skate community would all agree to use the terms “heel-side” and “toe-side” when explaining tricks instead of “left” and “right”. Then you don’t have to worry about goofy vs regular- you can explain it one way and it will make sense for any stance. Would make things easier for everyone, why is this not a standard thing by now…

I've been relearning skating lately to stay in shape and I'm having fun again, this is a great refresher

Thank you for this. Just got back on the board after a 13 yr hiatus and feel like I have to relearn everything

You made grinds easier to understand. Thanks bro

Thank you very much, John, I will go and attempt these tricks now

If there were videos like this when I was younger, I would have gotten much better at skating. Thanks for this 👍🏻

Thank you Thank you Thank you John 🙏

Trying to learn to skate rails now this really helped

This video was super helpful actually, I skate street rails but I want to get better at sitting on flatbars

Visual the grind pinches in yo mind

Thanks my guy🤙

Thanks man . I’ll probably keep watching this video a lot for help

In my country is 3am i stayed on youtube just to get a notification from john hill

You're such a legend, this is an awesome video. Thank you!

This helped a lot 👌

this iss the video i needded

I've been working on fs feebles for a couple days on a round rail and I've managed to slide a several times, but it's definitely hard to stay balanced and not nosedive. Maybe I will try approaching with a less angle next time to stay on the back seat a little more.

Killing it keeping you are awesome thank you for awesome content

I picked up the flat rail and finally learned my first back boardslide at 30 years old. I love the rail thanks John. 5050 still scary though lol

The only flat bar at my skatepark is knee high ontop of a box so it’s difficult to learn new tricks on. Might look into getting one of my own

So close to 1 mil subs!

Hey John - Keep Killllllinnnnnnnnnnng Iiiiiiit!! Love to see more details on say for 50-50 for rails.

Like the style in this one 👌 😎

2nd or 5th! Much love Brother! Keep the vibes up!

mr jhon hill how manny speed can use in smith grind recomended of speed ? give me some advice thanks from philipines

That intro was pretty smooth, John

this dude is so sweaty

soooo sweaty! lol hardest working man in skateboarding

Hey John thanks alot for the awesome video :) You said that the feeble is the easiest grind to do but is it also the first one that I should learn? Wasn't really sure since I thought that the first grind is gonna be a 5050. Always super excited when you upload :)) keep it up.

So surprised I wasn't subscribed, I watch u videos all the time

You should've also noted that when using tic tac tight trucks, you will have alot harder of a time doing these grinds on any rail..

Your videos are good

I've seen Powell Peralta's guy @ZachDoelling visually demonstrate why a nose grind isn't an overcrook, depends on where your weight is centered on the rail and how the board is angled away from the rail vs centered. Overcrook angles over, leans and pinches while nosegrind should sit direct center on the rail. The difference is huge and should be noted, pro or not. Pros insisting an oc is a ng usually just don't have the board control to choose which one they lock in. Great video nonetheless, no hate here

Very nice vid 🤗🤗🤗

Ive seen people balancing a nosegrind on a round rail, for example Tom Penny did it back in the 90s/2000, theres footage of it somewhere, it was at a skatepark and balances it perfectly without pinching or anything

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH AWESOME LESSON I GET IT NOW !!!! PINCH PINCH PICH!!

God loves us and God Bless! awesome vid dude

yo i love the size of your round rail....im gonna try to get one for my birthday next week

Not gonna lie, this was the first video of yours I watched and it inspired me to buy a grind rail so I can mess around and work on grinds on my board simply because I was getting bored doing flatground tricks.

Damn Johnny boi skating in shorts

My favorite are dc purse, only because they last so long. The board feel suffers a bit, but they've outlasted all my other shoes

I enjoyed this video

not alot of things that feel better than the scrape feeling as your trucks hit a rail/coping. never getting over that feeling

I always kinda felt like there was more of a difference between feeble grinds n smiths where a smith grind kinda hangs lower n off the obstacle where the feeble sits on top. I get how interchangeable they can look on a round rail or flat rail, but smith grinds on a ledge will always hang low when feebles look similar whether frontside or backside

feebles and smiths on ledges are definitely a much much different trick. I love the way feebles look on ledges.

Please upload this to Instagram so I can save it!!

Nose grind and crooks are hardest for me

Is a backside overcrook a backside nosegrind too?

Very Precious video. Now, this is a hold up, hand over your skills!!!!

Smith is one of the most stylish tricks.
