Frontside Feeb

[RadioActive782]

Ok, I still need some help on frontside feeble grinds. I've been practicing them for 3 weeks now.

I can get my back truck down and somewhat in feeble position but the nose isn't quite down, I'm not really sliding with my board too. You got any tips and these? Like how to lock in and how to balance and get pressure and shiz.

This trick is really hard for me since I've got frontside salad grinds dialled for over a half year. So automatically I lock in to a loizy salad grind (nose is a bit up).

Any help would be cool.

these are really fun to do but you have to have a rail thats tell enough to put the nose down. ummm...they are hard to explain....when you ollie kinda turn a little backside so you got less of a chance of going into a 50-50 and stuff. you gotta ollie pretty high. when you push your nose down dont put your foot on the nose but on the front truck because that makes it much easier to pop out. you just gotta get used to locking on and holding on for the ride. once again, they are so much fun when you get them down.

The way I do it is actually more like a front board than anything. I put all of the pressure on my tail, same as front board. Try to just ollie into a front board but a little over it so your truck locks in right by your toeside wheel, but hang your back toes off the end so it is easier to lock in (somewhat like a 360 flip.) My front foot usually only contacts the board with my toes. If you get in it right it should slide just like a front board.

I've found that when I do them, my upper body is actually twisted the opposite way of my legs. That should be the fix for the pointy nose, although the nose doesn't necessarily have to be pointing down. It can just be tweaked and sliding along the rail edge of the board.

Ok, thanks I will try them tips out as soon as I changed clothes. hehe

Aight, I tryed this trick continious today. I landed 3 of them, but pretty sketchy.
I can perfectly lock in with the back truck, but there's still some trouble going on with keeping the nose down. Should I put much pressure on the back truck or vica versa? And should my feeble be a little more tweaked? Because my board is almost parallel to the rail when I do feebs. As you can see, I really can't get the picture of how to get feeblin' yet. Also a small problem with the grinding part, I usually get stuck on the middle of the rail, but this can be solved with more speed I think.

You gotta put all the pressure on the back with your toes, and lean backward. The leaning will get the nose to point down. It's really awkward but over time you should be able to get them.

I guess everyone does them differently, too. If you are locking in, then keep locking in that way and experiment with the weight. The way I do them is nearly perpendicular to the rail, plus I am tweaked so far backward when I lock in properly. My front leg pretty much stays locked straight and my foot just kinda dangles over the grip.

Like I said, you'll feel just like you are frontside boardsliding when you are grinding properly, but you just sit on it and glide across with little effort. I dunno, I'm gonna go mess around with these right now and I'll get back to you if I find anything else out.

Good luck.

Did you ever hit these?

I nail them every now and then. Thanks to the tips hehe
