The KEYS to HOLDING SLIDES & GRINDS! (Part 2)

[@skatetheorist]

We live in the best time in history to learn skateboarding. Amazing stuff

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU! Hope my vids can help !

[@Wuuuuulf]

Man seriously I skated for a year when I was 15 and now I’m 28 and been skating again for two months and I’m 10x better now than I ever was then. And I think it’s cause of KZbin and videos like asta’s

[@tyhggb]

Yeah, I was doing fs crooks wrong from 93 til 05.

[@Jwoods771]

Seriously, im 30 now and started skating at 10…..the extremes i sent to to get my hands on a skate video back then are hard to Believe now 😂

[@SparksKnifecraft]

Damn it! I'm 32 years in and I still suck 🤣 learning in the 90s had its draw backs 😂😂😂

[@alexmiranda7852]

Chillest ledge skater of all time. Would love to see a back smith in depth tutorial as I really struggle with that. I also remember I met you once at the LA courthouse and it blew my mind seeing you skate in person 😂. Thanks for the content

[@TheRealWarez]

You can't even call yourself a skater if you saw Tom Asta had a youtube channel and you didn't subscribe... Absolute Truth.

[@tomasta]

haha THANK YOU!

[@pedroscop6828]

Our coach is back !!!!

[@BOTTENEGAMING]

I can land all this at the end of the ledge only, and your explanation is exactly on point.

[@kennyhamlin152]

Man you explain this stuff so well. Love front crooks but I can’t hold them very well, I can’t wait to try again. I’d love to see tutorials for some of the really tough shit, like 180 sw crooks or fake fs crook.

[@ashtonwilliams5945]

Tom, we thank you! You’ve been killing it for the longest now. We’re glad you’re still around 🙏🏽.

[@zero_nochi6881]

Its funny how we all have tricks we struggle on, for me front noseslides are my favourite and my most consistent grind 😂 the smith advice has helped me a ton ❤

[@Daviddaily_]

Man, you are so good at explaining the intricacies of these tricks!

[@nenemydog]

So true. Most tutorials on tricks don't go much further than "well you put your foot in this position and then you just ollie into it...". Really refreshing to hear tom explain those tricks.

[@theJACK__]

the front crook tips helped! I've been "reaching" on those for a minute. thanks youngsta! 👴🏾💕

[@GuntherDaGreat]

Tom Asta has become my favorite to learn from 🙏🏼 thanks bro!!

[@tomasta]

yess i love to hear that ! THANKS !

[@codentia___4369]

Keep up the vids! I’ve been skating for about 20 years but I feel like I’ve plateaued for the past 5 years. How you explain the nuances of tricks have helped boost me to progress more. Much appreciated!

[@tomasta]

love to hear that ! THANK YOU for watching and keep it going man, i have those spurts where i dont learn anthing new for a while...then all the sudden you learn a few new things real quick! the ups and downs of skateboarding ! Keep pushing !

[@aulakbar1371]

Feel like hanging out with Tom Asta would be the best time

[@tomasta]

LETS KICK IT ! haha THANKS for watching !

[@TheSageParsley]

Incredible content as always... this is how trick tip videos should be. Little nuggets that get you to understand the mechanics of a trick :)

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU ! glad you enjoy

[@aftertheburial420]

man....amazing description of what youre feeling with the trick or some of the common errors for you. this is exactly how i need things explained.

[@lvt8studio]

Inspiring to see how you're so passionate about the tricks and how you love doing them. The tips are so good I know everyone will learn a thing or two from your elaborate explanations 😊 Truly enjoyed the video Tom thank you 🙏

[@aymgot23]

yes totally ,even if we don't get all the tricks we learn a few very helpfull things each times ;)

Ooh I grew up with that too 😂

@@Philthy_777 best times. When even Ollies looked magical and mindblown at how it sticks to your feet mid air 😅

[@tannerlewis4404]

I loved what you said about smith grinds. Some of my homies learned smiths on ledges first and I couldn’t find that secret to take it from rails to ledges. Im definitely trying this next time at the park!!

[@tomasta]

hell yes THANKS !

[@benkasdorf5621]

This is so helpful, thanks Tom

[@mercjohnson9125]

These videos are so sick, more long grinds, slides and manuals please 👊

[@tylernelson5173]

Thank you for all you do Tom doin the lords work for all of us

[@EarlGreyTeaR6]

these videos are by far some of the most helpful tutorials on yt. Looking forward to the blunt slide one

[@tomasta]

hell yes im stoked for that one as well! THANKS

[@itmikael9371]

Tom Asta, you are the man. Proud of you man, been watching your skating since your first berrics battle back in the 10s bro. Glad to be learning from an awesome skater and also a young father like myself. good shit.

[@dtp692]

15:48 Hell yeah kid, You nail that stair set :D

[@fullthrottlerc4727]

So smooth and sick!!!! I’ve been learning to hold longer. Those tips are helpful, I’ll give them a try!🤙🏽

[@riiiven]

Front crook, getting on top makes sense ive experienced slipping out by reaching which has made me nervous to try again. Thanks!

[@anthonyortega1056]

Hell yea let’s go !! Glad to see Tom asta is still active ! I watched you face PROD bacc in the day for battle at the berrics! Classic💯

[@jackrevell4504]

Sick upload mate. Love the front crook and kicky front crooks Tom!

[@Gurdsresu]

Love how people can learn proper etiquette thru ur vids❤

[@decaf95]

I just learned fs noseslides last week and have been working on getting them more consistent and they have been a lot more consistent im glad i came to this video to push it farther

[@wilbert-oppegard]

Your advice really makes sense. You da man Tom!!!🤙🤙🤙

[@tomasta]

love to hear that THANK YOU for watching !

[@aymgot23]

thank professor Asta ^^ clear and pratictal explanations as always ! (the "warm up" bs noseblunt slide the rail wahou!)

Ur the best Tom thank you for the front crook tips such a good explanation. that kick flip front crook was beautiful 🤯🤯🤯

[@MilkshakeSkateboarding]

Love the vids bro keep killing it! Much love from morrisville pa

[@tomasta]

ayy local! thanks!

[@friesewiese]

I can nollie pretty well and have finally managed to understand noseslides, could you maybe explain your approach to nollie noseslides and crooks? Much love as always, been following your career for probably 12-13 years or so, seeing you in this format is amazing! all the love!!

[@mattchand8464]

Been waiting since part 1 came out!!

[@TheZion78]

Getting me so hyped. All ur advice seem to make so much sense. Dont know how u can handle skating it that heat. Waiting for the summer to pass and my kids to go back to school so I can finally have time to hit back those proper ledges and put the work in~

[@robertbaker3620]

I just learned how to hold front nose slides a few weeks ago. Always been a trick I neglected but they ended up being kinda easy and very satisfying.

[@chriswright6001]

Another top tier video from Tom again! Love watching your videos.

[@theMrGrowl]

Tom please talk about where you look when approaching the ledge and stuff!!! I need to know

[@estrada8660]

I love how u break it down man appreciate that and u taking ur time it be so sick to run into u one day and also really cool that u put codes 4 discount 4 ur sponsors and also so ppl can afford the product for those that are not there yet also I'm 32 so the break down is needed at this point lol and being sore is a part of life especially if skating and working everyday and why I wanna get better and sponsored to just skate like I want to have a blessed day bro

[@mindajar6085]

Met you at Jaycee Park in Las Vegas. You and your team were super rad. Thanks for the show!

[@zjackie-ym3kc]

I would like to ask when you usually skate. I would like to learn about your skateboarding schedule

[@cavf88]

Thank you Tom these tips videos are great and you are really good at explaining them. That kickflip crook sticking was scary af! Do you have any exercise/stretching routines?

[@pauljirwin]

Killing it Tom! I’m going to buy one of those water filters for my house from your link. Skaters supporting skaters!!

Kickflip front crook was diiirrrrrrty 🤘🏽🔥🔥

What a BONUS! Frazie.

“ima get sum warmups in” (as he completely shits on the park)😮‍💨🔥

[@mikemobb922]

Great vid man! Keep em coming ! I know you're not a fan of frontside noseslides but how about a vid on kickflip front nose slides ?

[@kakimotoK20]

I always just gave it a little push. Like nose grind id push my front down and forward a little more than for a manual but i think balance was the same as a nose manual. Crooks same. Feeble or smith push my front foot into the side of the rail

[@NHSSkateDirect]

Yes! Super helpful. You rule.

[@Moonation3005]

Let’s go Tom! You a legend 🫵🏿🤝

[@dizzychizzy1]

Great explanations Tom… I wonder how better a skateboarder I would of been with KZbin when I was skating in the 90’s Ie… I would try k girnds out front for ages till I worked it out eventually by accident to be on top of grinds… totally agree with fakie tails compared to fs nose slide… just a better setup. 😊😊😊

[@DotKsmGlmrMovrBtc]

I was so hoping for a bonus trick ender kickflip fs crooks and that's what you did! Sweet

[@GunnaSK8]

BRO I FINALLY GOT BS FEEBLES bc of you was so hype finally learning harder tricks making it feel like the old days

[@tomasta]

yesss! love to hear that ! THANKS for watching and glad i could help!

[@skate_slack_juggle]

that flip fs crook was perfect man

[@Buezok]

Went through my old room today and found a old mystery poster of yours, and some sign pieces from the LRG 1947 demo in Bethlehem

[@tomasta]

damn way back ! thats so sick haha THANKS for watching !

[@BrandonGwilliam]

10/10 video I just moved away from mids and miss it so bad. Any good parks to check out in South Florida?? Keep doing what you're doing it's great

[@tomasta]

hmm not too farmiliar with south florida..i know miami has great skate spots and Lot 11 skate park is a must! that place is amazing...THANKS for watching my vids !

[@yungjet118]

awesome vid! You've always been one of my fav skaters! Cool to learn from you

[@kyleadams6208]

always tell myself if i wanna come out of a front nose to regular to make sure i'm looking over my shoulder like a front board. but a lot of times i don't look the nose into the ledge first so i end up missing short if that makes sense

[@jonathanzrout6994]

Love the channel man! Actually I would love to see that "Blunt Slides" video. Maybe at a street spot? Seeing you blunt slide a hubba would be sick and just skate a hubba in general 😁

[@tomasta]

street hubbas are hard to come by haha but that would be sick ! THANKS for watching i got blunts coming soon!

[@felipcilenti1761]

Explanations are on point 🔥

[@Skater_xX]

Front nose is a battle every time, thanks for the vid!

[@derekgrant8604]

What a cool ass pro I remember going to my local park after school and the ledges and rail would be deadly from good guys early in the day or week.

[@DiscipleOfSelfSchool]

5 star execution as usual and also very helpful. Thanks, yo! 🙌

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@meowforjasper2838]

The only thing I like to hold for long periods of time is my best friend Nyjah. Though my arms get tired because I haven't been working out as much lately. Jah has the best arms I've ever seen and can hold me for what feels like forever but I mean come on. It's Jah! He's got gold medal strength and don't even get me started on his slides. He always slides into my DM's with the best memes. Jah is so silly. We are just friend's though. Great video!

[@rollandburnl7826]

Hyped to see you do a long fs nose without the nollie in 👏👏

[@brye0331]

Missed Middletown brah! They were talking about getting you back on The Nine Club in the NKA vid and I concur. From NEPA with love homie!!! Keep ‘em coming.

[@tomasta]

would love to chat with the homies at the nince club again ! miss those guys ! THANKS for watching !

[@RN-ly1il]

fs crooked is very tricky for me. I feel like nollie into it is a lot easier cuz your front foot is ready in the position. Love your videos.

[@tomasta]

yup i agree with that 100 percent ! THANK YOU !

[@DazedCutty]

Great vid as always! Nollie nose slides are 💯 easier then a regular frontside nose slide. Nollies just go that way easier as well. Then if you got nollie heel flips on lock it’s not hard to learn how to nollie heal flip nose slide. It was impressive you nose slid that far! You got everything on lock bro lol

[@stayg2332]

Hi Tom, thank you for your tips. You always motivate me. Video about big spins out of nose/tail slides would be cool💯💯🔥🔥

[@tomasta]

love to hear that! thats a great idea as well. cover all the slide bigspins ! THANKS for watching !

[@pedropastre5626]

Tom, thank you very much for the masterclass... everything is so well explained and in the smallest details! Big fan from Brazil.🛹

[@skateplusrice]

These are the exact tricks I been working on !!

great video, maybe I finally try to learn front crooks

[@ocdvfx]

I'm really excited for you and where your channel is going. These videos are too good n mad helpful

thats a great idea, THANK YOU !

[@lukasboraski2729]

That first beat for first set of tricks went pretty hard haha. I hope one day to see or film you skate live. Footage is one thing but it never does the justice. I remember my homie in Philly prolly 15 years ago tellin me you have no idea what its like to see pros live. He was talkin about seeing Wenning and Kalis and many more but those 2 were like super casual at the spot compared to people flying in and shit like that .

[@johnconanan3635]

Super good trick tips. Hopefully you can create a trick tip for bs tail slide big spin out. Done that before however right now its been killing me to land it again, specifically the big spin out. Not sure whats wrong. Need your help! Hehe. Thank you in advance!

[@tomasta]

i like that trick a lot would like to make a lil tip on that! as for now, trying it off the end of a ledge is way easier that trying to do it in the middle of the ledge..also make sure you are going at a decent speed so that when you bigspin out you clear the end of the ledge so you dont hit the ledge while big spinning ! THANKS for watching !

[@johnconanan3635]

@@tomastagot it! I'll try it again. Thanks for the tips! More power!

[@gallowsend]

thank you Tom!

[@jacobsmith3526]

I was just wondering if you had a tip for the kick flip into the front crook. Like how you should angle it or any tricks to it. Side note, definitely one of my favorite KZbin channels, been subscribed since maybe ur 3rd video. Long time fan before that and I feel like your paving ur way and this is going to turn into one of ur most fruitful endeavors.

[@FrankOvertones]

Chris Wimer gave me this tip, and it helped me learn them. Approach at an angle, and just kickflip. No need to turn the kickflip backside at all, that makes it go into a fs noseslide a lot of the time. Approach at an angle and do a kickflip onto the fs krook. small tip, but helped me learn it quickly.

[@jessejamesb]

Dude you have to file down that ledge. I remember a new trucks vid not long ago. That krook groove is deep already! I still want to see some stuff down the 1/4 side of the hubbas at that park 🤘

[@briandavis8017]

Blunts, 180+switch salad/Suski(180 nose grind), pinched feeble, lip slides 👍👍

Just to go even more basic I would love to see your explanations for board slide and lip slide across the Manny pad and then board slide to fakie and lip to fakie … also 270 out and lip slide to 5 -0 , lip sllied to switch crook ,board slide to switch 50🙌🙌🤣🤣tall small ordersj ! Thank you again and if you are skating up in Boston let’s hit eggs with the Beerwax crew… The city just restored it and fixed all the cracks ,it’s the Waxiyest Skate spot around🖖🖖🖖❤ oh also also ,!! Nose blunt slides and bluntslides front side and back side please 🥷🥷🥷

[@playtimet.v7342]

Front crook info. When I put my front foot like that and try to Ollie on to the ledge, the board leaves my foot every time. I guess I can't control my Ollie from every point. I do it best with my heel hang about and inch and half off. BTW thanks man on the info. Very motivated to try some of these ledge tricks.

Hey Tom, I know you say you aren’t as good with transition, but could you do a video like this on your tips for holding grinds or slides on transition, I don’t understand if you supposed to keep your weight in the ramp or on top of the coping with transition tricks
