How To Frontside Grind (EVERYTHING)

[@ZackDowdy]

If you find these tips helpful consider taping thumbs up under the video! Let me know what transition tricks you want a in-depth tutorial on next.

[@TheAnimeist]

Earlier you had a video with a no comply on a quarter pipe into a tail grind. Or something like that. Would that make for a good tutorial?

[@chrisconnelly8442]

Been watching this on repeat! You and Al have been crushing it with the content. Would love to see an in-depth tutorial on the backside 50-50. I can’t figure out how you guys just glide right into them. Can’t get a consistent pinch to save my life

[@jamesblack687]

Thank you for the detailed instructions 👍

[@vonslagle]

I just did my first fs grind in 17 years. It’s been a while. First one I ever did was in 1985

[@KillSanchezVol.1]

Thanks. I always appreciate those "what to do with your arms" tips. As a tall guy, I struggle a bit against my own arms to keep the balance and it distracts me.

[@cedricclark5531]

I heard you learn better when your hungry, 16 hours no food. I indulge, gluttony, your videos like food... Thank you for the knowledge, you explain things WELL an great visualization... I been hungry for the longest for vert/transition, your videos feeding my mind! Still hungry and mind satisfied.... Thank you!!!

[@astreet339]

Thanks Zack for all the time and effort you put into these edits! Being from Tennessee and buying my first board at age 35, you have helped me out tremendously!!

[@Unoriginal3]

Yes!!!! Such big balls getting this after thirty

[@NotFragPlx]

31 here and just started this year. you wont regret it - best feeling and best antidepressant ^^

[@TheRicardfranca89]

I think that this master class format is really good. i find myself coming back to your videos as I improve, and I always find something new.

[@ZackDowdy]

Stoked, good to know.

[@scottmccrimmon1]

Yup, again I had a breakthrough on a trick the day after watching your how-to vids. These are awesome Zack, thanks so much 🙏🏻

[@Nathan_Salcedo]

yes!! I needed this video in my life

[@randoa2769]

Thank you for helping the skate community. And teaching all of us what’s good haha have a great day g

[@markpolitowicz5295]

Thanks for the tips Zack. This is a REALLY well made instructional video and thanks for making it!!!

[@heathschmidt7516]

12:03-13:00 is a great tip! Thanks!

[@VandalEyes05]

as far as the grooves in the trucks go, if anyone is interested in that, Mini Logo trucks shape is a bit more contoured like what you are is mentioned when you get them new.

[@judgeholden849]

These segments are good., keep them coming. Thanks

[@Parkeri1313]

I finally got the standup FS 5050 on transition (took forever to get the confidence) but still cannot FS slash or FS 50 on transition. thanks for the great content Zach.

[@burneraccount9829]

this is great....frontside slash is my fave trick (well maybe frontside carve grinds) but i really want to get stand up grinds for real so looking forward to using these tips...

[@kevskatesNM73]

Same….when I finally learned front carve grinds/double truckers it caused me to develop this bad habit of NEVER lifting my front trucks….I’m re-teaching myself how to hold onto regular fs grinds (not gonna call them stand up grinds but definitely “huck my beer gut over” when I slash

[@guillermoalbertomorantesp8231]

Thank you so much Zack very helpful tutorial.

[@edwin6897]

ur videos brakes my fears when skating :), keep up the good work

[@heathschmidt7516]

Grant Taylor thanked Front side grind in the credits of one of his video parts!…. that’s how important this maneuver is to transition skateboarding! Thanks for the video Zach very informative and helpful!

[@sil8749]

Which video part

[@heathschmidt7516]

I believe it was in the SB Chronicles Full length video. In his Credits at the end.(If not well… I know I saw it somewhere!!)

[@tim.jenkins75]

Got a few front side slash grinds last week for the first time.....feels soooo cool..... very surfy

[@cjchavez19]

Excited to take these tips to my next sesh.

[@OldScoolSkaterDan]

I do frontside grinds mainly on small ramps. I learned them on my 2ft mini ramp. Maybe it's just a small ramp thing but I have found if 3 factors are in place when I go back in, I never hang up. Even if I do super weak 45 degree kick turns out of my frontside grind it works. That is, when I do the kick turn out all my weight must be on my back heel. My back heel side wheel needs to be right up next to the coping. Like a drop in I need to focus on getting my front wheels smashed down on the ramp. If I do those three things I roll away. Not sure if that works on taller ramps. I need to get up the guts and just try it.

[@frankiesunswept]

Dude, this is so awesome! Thanks for sharing your work
