1
Be comfortable with noseslides before you go after this trick.
-
2
Approach your obstacle at the same angle as you would use for a noseslide or a boardslide.
-
3
Ollie a little higher than the obstacle so you can get over it and push down into the grind.
-
4
Aim with your front truck, and point your front foot into it as your back foot lightens and lifts up. You will drop onto the grind rather than going right up to the level of the obstacle. The toe side of your board will be dipped down a little bit, and you will be partially on the nose of your board.
-
5
Keep your center of gravity over the front truck so you are balanced over the center of the trick. After you grind the length of your obstacle or as far as you can, it's time to come out.
-
6
Push out of it with your front foot as you turn your body straight. Without an end, you've got to give a small pressure-nollie to get out. This just has to be tried to learn it.

First, have a good balance on a skateboard, if you don't then you won't be able to do it. 1. Pop as hard as you can and make it clean and fast. 2. Jump 3. While jumping, slide your foot to the bolts. Try to get someone to show you how to do it properly, or watch a video. -

Put your back foot on the very tip of the tail. Pop really hard, then kick your front foot out (to make it flip).

Before you grind somthing, make sure that it is waxed or that there is a coping that you will slide on easily.
