[@landonowens889]

Bro same! I’ve always been terrified of them but after watching this now I want to go skate on! This dude is the best

[@joshflorence2127]

Tom just did all the basics in one video. Props I can’t skate rails I needed this

[@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😢

[@TwinnedKarma44]

Got back into skating last year at 32 and I watch ever video you drop! Growing up in the 90s as you know we didn't have this accessible and holy cow does taking your advice help! A real service you are doing for the skate community bro! Much love!

[@luisruiz1385]

You’re a really good teacher, the way you explain these tips just makes sense and not all extra

[@tomasta]

THANKS ! glad you enjoy

[@KK-bc8iu]

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]

[@ShredPilgrim]

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

[@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 !

u give the best skate content fo real though thanks man

[@simonklein2674]

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

[@Jonnyclash1]

Love your videos my guy. Keep doing you!

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@RasKitchen]

These are awesome lessons Tom! Big up 🙌

[@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.

[@mitchmcgillis2197]

Love coming home from work and seeing you posted a new video! This one was killer as always great work Tom!

[@tomasta]

ayy thanks homie !

[@alfprysen4513]

im amazed by your channel Tom! thanks for doing for you're doing 🙏 blessings from Laos

[@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

[@solidbluebrian]

Holy shit this was so incredibly helpful, thank you!!!

THANKS for watching !

[@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.)

[@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 💯
