"Hi my name is Virgil Black and I am here at Ramp Riders Skate Park, on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, Smith Grinds on coping. Same approach as you're going to grind typically you're going to have a nice large card. The way you are going to pop into this trick, you're going to turn your bike into the coping and pop your back end up onto the deck. Basically you're going to land like this. Same concept of your back wheel actually moving towards the edge of the ramp. It's typically harder on a quarter pipe because actually coping wants to lean you in over the deck which will basically cause you to kind of lean over so you want to be a little bit more over the transition as opposed to doing it on a ledge where you are usually straight over your bike basically you want to be leaning in a little bit more. By Smith grinding and leaning in and you'll basically just lower your back tire over the coping and come in clean."
