I taught myself smiths in 3 steps. The first step was to stand on top of a 50-50 stall on the ledge and then move it to the smith position, this part taught me how I needed to shift my balance in order to hold the smith in place. Step two was then doing 50-50s to smith (it's like step one but now moving). Then the third step was learning how to ollie into the smith grind which was the easiest step to learn since I already knew how to position myself. That's it, then I did the same steps but backside and now back smiths are my favorite ledge trick to do.

I love getting to see how your back foot is positioned when you pop, It makes me feel good about (How I try) mine because I started doing Smiths while attempting front tails and the "heel control" feeling is weird but coupling this with leaning back already makes sense when I visualise it! I am super excited to go play tomorrow afternoon. Awesome channel, the growth is unreal! All the best to you and yours. Happy skating too!

I remember in a Q&A a while ago Alex Olson was asked about smiths. He recommended leaning slightly back like a 5-0. That made total sense to me as every time I tried to smith I would fall out of it or the board would fall off the ledge, as my weight was centered over the board like a 5050

Oh man, really needed this. Been struggling with this for the past week. Kept getting stuck so I tried leaning back more and it just shoots out. Can't wait to try it tomorrow with a fresh head and your tips. Thanks!

@poetsrear2 жыл бұрын
Something I also noticed is, the hanger of the back truck doesn't tilt up like with a bar, because the top of the ledge obstructs it's movement, thus making it slightly taller/further away to stand on, locking less and also forcing the board to tilt to and angle, rather than the hanger.

Thanks for all the great content, I just had two requests; an updated bigflip video, as well as any tips you might have on popping higher tre flips, specifically timing them in order to get them over larger obstacles on flatground. Thanks in advance, your consideration and content are both greatly appreciated🙏

fun physics factoid: because you can't put your weight over the ledge it's essentially impossible to hold this grind--unless you're on a curved ledge.
