The radial full and nano cubic shapes are great for slappy's. They have the rounded outside edge and it covers the axel nut, so you aren't bashing it too much.
i'm pretty comfortable getting into them, just hesitant to hit with enough speed to get good distance. sometimes i just go like i would for a noseslide and kinda pop into crook
My problem is geting out from the grind. I've been struckling with that alot. Getting in to the grind goes well but can't land it. And now waiting my rolled ankle to heal. Greetings from still snowy Finland. 😄
Maybe try it at first in multiple steps, 1st just push the board down with back foot down, 2nd move the front straight from the curb. After bit of practicing you will be able to optimize this movement to finally make it in one smooth motion without that tictac and touching the ground too early.
Had these for literally a day and couldn’t do them after that day definitely gonna give them a more in depth try feel like I got lucky lol thanks Steve!
i can do them on my near vertical curb here in england, but i struggle to pop out or even roll away. super fun though, really feels like a video game trick with the way it just locks in.
I'm an idiot and completely forgot to address getting out of them. At first I would just come out to fakie. It's the easiest way to kinda fall out of it
@@stickersteve007 yeah i've basically fell out of it into fakie once, a good way to describe it lol. how does popping out of it work - does the rebound from the truck kind of lift the board? or does my back foot kind of need to do a nollie?
Love how the footing is shown. Also am enjoying the edit. Helpful info to on the wheels. Lastly putting pressure on the front foot and balancing on it is going to take some work for me. I tried doing it stationary like shown in the last vid and my right leg took some getting used to it.
@@Inexpressable maybe better at different tricks but we all got tricks we can do and cant do. Other then transition I am an absolute garbage skater!! Bet way worse than you!! But def once I get comfy on the noseslides gonna try some crooks they look sooooo cool!! 🤙
@@fatdadskatesbad i have all the 180s, kickflip, heelflip (maybe), pop shove its, no comply stuff and boneless variations. i can't ride transition at all, and can't slide anything! so you're not wrong, we have different progressions for sure, kind of love that about skateboarding.
@@Inexpressable yeah def very true everyones got different skill sets and ways of skating!! Even tho its skating it can be done so many different ways.
Peace, if I don't have a (curb block) grinder. What's the best to break in curb. No money and was thinking like back 89 90 we would just spray paint and grind the shxt out them lol no wax lol anyways bro peace and good energy 732nj 48 yr old skating ageen lol yah✌🏻💨

Sweet! Top of my list to learn this spring. Thanks for the tips!
You got it!

You got it then. If you did it before you can definitely do it again

@@Inexpressable it's like a quick lil dip/nollie. rebound of the bushing's if that makes sense. im still workin on that myself

Momentum goin forward can help with the balance on the front
Love your videos. Can’t wait to go try these.
appreciate that dude. And like i said in the video the soft sliders are good wheels. i just prefer the x97's
Great instruction! If I get my nerve up I'll be wearing a helmet and pads though. 😁
You got it!
Def next on the list. Thanks for all these tutorials. I think this trick def looks the sickest!!! I def agree!! 🤙
it's much easier than it looks
fatdad i watch you and you're way better than me, and steve is right, its way easier than it seems, since even i can do it

Great footage, Steve. Nice day out.
Thanks dude
Looks bad ass
Feels bad ass
The fear of going in faster is what scares me. I’ve had a few close call run outs
Definitely the scariest part! The leaning back a little bit helps a lot in my opinion
@@stickersteve007 so as soon as you hit the curb and start get up on to it, is when you would begin to lean back?
@@6to8john I'm leaning back as I approach

Try and find a painted curb. Or put some lacquer on a bare one. Some wax and some speed and you'll break it in in no time
@stickersteve007 yah man. Thanks alot fr.
@@veggieSxDBD anytime!
i like how you keep looking over your shoulder to make sure there are no narcs around 😭
There's some sketchy people that come through that parking lot. Always keeping my head on a swivel lol
@@stickersteve007 i get it. it just looks like you are telling us something dangerous
@diplenski lol technically I am
@@stickersteve007 slappy crooks are a gateway trick
@Inexpressable lol it's true
