"Hi, my name is Virgil Black and I'm here at Ramp Riders Skate Park on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, in this clip I'm going to talk to you about the approach. This one you want to approach it with the same amount of speed maybe a little bit faster than what you would a Smith grind. This one you don't want to go as much of an angle as you would a Smith. You want to basically go in slightly parallel with the ledge that way you at least do your peg sorts of goes down. You can actually catch in a double peg and you can still make the trick. Basically you want to come at it a slight angle come in block you peg on. Typically if you go to much at an angle what could happen usually your tire can actually catch and throw you down to febal grind. You want to make sure you kind of come parallel with the ledge once again keeping your pedal low. The more parallel you are with this ledge the more smooth the grind it actually going to be, the more straight up you are going to be on the grind and definitely keep your peg level on the ledge."
