Hey Tom happy to report that with your help. after 3 nights of practising, I have landed 3 clean backside fifties on a rail. I'am 40 years old and never thought I would be able do to that in my life! Next I'm gonna work on backside smiths. Thanks Brother for the help!

[@steelokey]

Dude it’s so cool seeing you here, haha. I want to learn backside 50-50’s so bad. I can do frontside but not BS. I wanna learn FS boards next tho too. Haha BS smiths are way too intimidating. Did you end up getting the smiths?

A man for the people!! I'm re-learning how to skate because of your videos. Thanks so much for your generosity. Truly appreciate you!

[@tomasta]

[@PilgrimShred]

Tom's channel is my favourite thing about youtube right now. I feel like I'm learning how to skate all over again.

[@BuminSkunk]

makes me feel more confident about 50-50s on my flatbar ill try it tmmrw

[@lifestylezwaks]

Relearning how to skate after 2 decades. This video helped a lot. Thanks man.

[@DoggoWillink]

Man. When I was a kid I would’ve been amazed by this: one of the best pros in the world teaching you legit, practical tips right on your phone. For some reason I never learned feebles growing up, I don’t know why I neglected them. I guess it’s because The Incline Club skatepark (bike oriented) I was always at only had down-rails, I didn’t get many chances to skate flatbars, so I learned most tricks on down-rails. Feebles scared me in that context. Parks back in the early 2000s, in my area, were few and far between and mostly sucked. The parks today are so sick.

[@burgerlord1297]

good shit and solid break downs . production as well all around.

[@logankorb2903]

You may not be the best nosegrinder in the world but you’re definitely one of them. And that’s why we all watch your videos. Thank you for what you doing 💯

[@tomasta]

love to hear that ! THANKS for watching !

[@nicolasgoossens]

That FS nosegrind was definitely an overcrook 💯 Anymore crooked and it would slide into a noseblunt

[@dolphinitely_bro3944]

Why has the industry forgotten about the overcrook and salad grind😢

[@dylanryandrums]

There is no such thing as a front overcook

[@benheiligmane7776]

It's only an overcrook if it's backside, Frontside is just a nose grind

[@skattoostudio2236]

helps a lot！！thanks TOM！big fan from 🇨🇳

[@whereisarthur]

Massive knowledge from the one Tom Asta!! Booyakasha!! Yeah, this type of content in the 90's would've made skating progress SO much faster back then. It's definitely helping it progress now, as we can all see daily. Thanks, Tom!! Glad U realized what an amazing tutorial and educational type of space KZbin can be when utilized correctly. You're helping a LOT of people. Us old guys included. And our kids!! Lol.

[@derboy177]

Yo been watching your content for years on Instagram and was so hyped when i found your youtube months ago, because of videos like this i finally got confidence in grinding / sliding on ledges. sometimes even rails. Been an Flatground / Hip / Gap guy for most of my years of skating. now i can almost say i can do anything. Thanks for the nice videos! keep it up. Greetings from germany bro

[@andrecipili6438]

It's so crazy how you make it look so easy.. unreal balance!! You are a beast!!

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@pedroscop6828]

TY from france ! i did my first front smith grind to day. I was struggling on a ledge, but i tried on flatbar with yours advices and i land it.

[@waynek112]

Thank you for sharing! All the feeble/ smith hints are so inspiring. Definitely try it next time I skate!

[@deathpeachofficial]

This man's skating is truly immaculate

[@tomasta]

THANKS for the tunes my dude !

[@justinollis34]

I needed this so bad. 38 abandoned impact for the most part and grew up with small town parks and the the big square rails. But they just built a new park with only round and I know in heart I could do feebs and smiths and 50 variations if I'd just quit being scared of the roundness. I can Smith ledges and feeb blocks and I've felt the cool roll over lock-in round rails provide cause I can front willy 😅 well on them at the new park surprisingly. But man I'm hoping these tips will help me with the confidence. Again I can Smith or 50 to front broad square rails but round is sketchy. (Edit: oh and boardslides on round have been no issue.)

[@MitchLally]

Such great content Tom!

[@Farmhouseclips]

Ayy thank you I prefer round bars also... And you should always throw in a gnarly trick at the end of your video it hypes me up so much. That fakie front krook to fr feeble was so sick. Gracias!! ❤

It's interesting how your back arm reaches back on front smith to really lock your shoulders in place. Almost like a rutter steering a boat.

[@tomasta]

glad that i can relate to some people with that problem! hope what i said can help ! THANKS for watching, i appreciate it !

[@RKLS90]

Right when he mentioned leaving out some tricks i immediately thought of noseslide. When I was a kid I never wanted to try those on any type of round rail. When u do a nose slide on a ledge there’s really no balanced involved u just slap it into place & gold all your weight over the foot that’s on the nose. Doing it on a rail seems like it would be a hell of a lot different. On a round rail u have to be balanced the second u get onto it

[@afpak710]

been watching you since i was a kid. cant keep asta out the game. keep these videos up mane

Man, this is the first vid i've seen of yours. But this is incredible information. As someone who's been skating a long time, i understood everything you said so easily. Now i'm hyped for a flat bar sesh. Thanks for this dude. Front crooks on ledges would be a good one to do! I've got them fakie, but can't do them regular to save my life.

[@tomasta]

been getting a lot of fs crook requests so ill dive into that one soon! THANKS !

[@samsedghi5791]

Thank you for all that you do Tom!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️👊

[@likespinningpats]

Do you use stretches to warm up before you skate? What's your routine before you step on the board? I'm not much older than you and I have to stretch before I skate, but I do the bare minimum. I want to know your routine if you've got one.

[@tomasta]

i could do more stretching for sure..maybe ill put a vid out about that as well..but i take about 5-10 mins to stretch and loosen up before i actually step on the board. id have to make a vid cause i dont really know the names of stretches im doing lol THANKS for watching !

[@chug_n_toke8849]

When i go do nosegrinds.. i do my shoulders straight with the bolts.. my bad, but to me, those are overkrooks. But thats the way it is with round rails i guess. On square rails its easy to colt cannon it lol❤

Thank you Asta. You are amazing bro. Your style... can't be touched. Smooth and flawless.
