How To Fs Smith Grind On A Mini Ramp

[@drbolz]

Hey i really appreciate your miniramp tutorials. I recently build a miniramp with my friends, i'm in my 40ies and didn't skate much the past 10 years or so, but now i'm eager to learn more tricks and your videos are very helpful. Thanks!

[@familyfun6397]

Hi Chad. Keep these vids coming. Just learned front Smiths, this was a great help.

[@ycarbonell]

Thanks Chad all you vids and explanation on tricks are super helpful please keep up the good work . I was trying smith again today. Please come to France Lyon

[@nathanmitchell9243]

Amazing vids man Ive been watching so many learning the details of how you explain the tricks Ive just started skating again been 7 years. Ive basically started from scratch and in 3 weeks I have learned more from watching your videos than learning on my own of years trying an I was one of those people that gave up but started up again since watching your channel thanks heaps bro your a legend 🤘

[@Soopatone]

[@rickmashburn5163]

you the man. got stuck a few times trying yesterday. getting em today!

[@aaronbowie6339]

I learned by doing lots of slashes and moving my body weight forward and the I would just start doing it faster and faster

[@DecentNotGreat]

Dream is to do it around a corner! How should i approach a 90* corner and exit?

[@curiositespatiale6328]

Yo wondered if the fs five o is same body position than fs smith ? I can fs smith grind but i cant fs five o grind, i thought it was same i mean a manual instead of smith. I am right ?

[@wantmeX]

leaning back is THE key :)

Thanks Chad if I send a vid on mine can you critique it? In a 52 yr rider

[@toxicbunny4937]

Yesterday I was trying 50 50 but I went into a smith for first time but I don't know how roll off

[@sinkincones8130]

apreiciate it man keep it up

[@randomofa]

The man!!

[@camelo1495]

The key point....once you can get into it...it's the hardest part....so keep practicing to grind it

[@antibling4608]

One thing that pretty much every “how-to” forgets to mention is the upper body, and keeping it facing the deck while the lower body turns first

[@camelo1495]

Chad needsome help your dealing with my midlife crisis and I can't get up on the coping. Not to mention my front foot keeps going fwd naturally so that when I'm carving building speed I am front heavy. I have tried bringing it back more to find that balance to no avail and it keeps moving fwd. Too many slams recently. A lot of physio and back foot slides off as well. Grip is not a problem but not finding comfort on my board.

[@Rufusdos]

How's it going after one year?

[@levro7367]

I learnt fs Smith's way before fs 5-0

[@mskatesnow]

👍👍👍

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Yeah thanks for the help ,I keep laughing,because to do this trick u need to approach the ramp at a 45 degree angle,I'm laughing because zero experience with sticky grabby pool coping I come in hot with a lot of speed and don't have coping figured so I do these really wide front side and back side kicks from a fourth five degree angle and zip along like a five 0 grind because pool coping is scaring me ,but I think I heard what I need to do to stop the sticking from acurring I need to emphasis the lean when I'm grinding so I don't get tossed like day old salad,thanks,back 35 years ago when I weighed 90 or 100lbs I don't remember having these problems...funny is I lean back a ton because I blaze when I skate vert I get dizzy in a mini ramp to small,sincerely in search of bigger transition.but once I get over my coping issue I should be getting back to doing airs that was the whole reason I decided to revive my vert career,street guys are amazing and blow my mind but I'll be in the big half pipe if the phone rings... Sorry we are experiencing operating difficulty s please stand by but not on the coping back up kid.

[@victorr_o4]

Nice 🤙

[@ChadCaruso]

Thanks Jaime 🙏

[@TheQuarter]

I’m my mind this seems like I could do it so easily but there’s no way it could be like that.

[@ldom2244]

no one is going to mention the barrel that magically appeared in the middle of the ramp in the last take?

[@Tankhunter67]

Remember me from the park

Can someone specify how this is different on a really grippy concrete ramp? Easier to have the wheels stick, I imagine...
