You're from another land That you like is contributed Yo, what up guys welcome back to the channel Welcome back to another video Hope you're having a good day or a good afternoon Or a good evening wherever you are I'm out here today at Kirkham It's a sunny winter day I'm here today I'm going to show you guys Some easy ledge tricks Well the first ledge tricks you guys should learn If he's like getting into skateboarding If he's at that level of skateboarding Where you want to start learning tricks on ledges And if you've been an OG viewer of the channel You know that I love ledges I'm wearing some sunglasses in today's video Because it's hella bright out here It is a winter's day I left the house thinking It would be kind of overcast But the sun's finally popped its head out So yeah, apologise for the lack of eye contact But yeah, I don't want to go blind in the sun Alright so the first trick we're going to talk about today is The most quintessential Ledge, grind trick In my opinion, like you need to learn this trick Before you go on to learn any other tricks Kind of creates a good foundation To learn upon But yeah, the first trick we're going to talk about today guys Is the frontside 50-50 Now there's a couple of different ways You can approach this trick So the way I usually approach is I'll come pretty parallel to the ledge But not super close like I'll roll up With my board maybe angled like that Towards the ledge So it's not super straight but there's kind of an angle In having your board facing this way And then basically You want to get on, you want to pop And you just want to aim What you're aiming for is to Pretty much ollie And maneuver both of your trucks onto the ledge And lock in This trick can be a bit tricky at first You really want to concentrate on Aiming to ollie Clear your board over the ledge And then land down with both trucks If I had to say Concentrate on locking in Either my front or my back truck I feel like once I ollie Get my front truck straight with the ledge I can kind of land on it and then lock in I'm not focused too much on my back I don't know if anyone else does that But that's how I do it Now if you guys are having a problem Basically when you ollie You hit the ledge, you don't ollie high enough What I could suggest doing is Kind of squatting down a bit Really using your knees And then aiming to hit your front truck Down on the ledge first There's no right way to learn this trick You just gotta Practice getting in and getting out But if you guys are having trouble aiming I would suggest to kind of ollie Put the front truck down first And then your back truck It doesn't have to be like bang bang It can just be like bang bang If you guys can manage to lock in The next part of this trick Is keeping your balance centered And keeping your shoulders squared up And parallel with the ledge that you're on By keeping your weight parallel with the ledge And keeping your shoulders in line You're gonna hold your weight centered above the board And there's not gonna be much weight Dispersed either side So you wanna be aiming to Ride that fine line of balance In the middle of your board By keeping your shoulders straight with the ledge Another thing that can help If you guys are having trouble balancing On that fine edge that you need to balance on You can set your board down on the ledge You can run, jump onto your board And kind of just get used to the feel You don't even have to wind it like you can jump out But you can literally just let your board down Run, jump on it Kind of get a feel for the grind and then pop out Alright guys so the next trick We're gonna talk about today is the Frontside 5.0 Now similar to the Frontside 50.50 The frontside 5.0 is Pretty much The back truck in for the ledge Grinding and then popping out They can be a bit difficult If you don't know where to place your weight I'm gonna go through that today with you guys The Frontside 50.50 Is a quintessential trick to learning The Frontside 5.0 So if you guys can manually Or even just kind of drag your tail along the ground You should be able to do this trick So with the Frontside 5.0 I usually approach the ledge On a bit more of a parallel kind of angle Hopefully and then shift my back foot over this way Instead of trying to get on like this It's kind of off on an angle Does that make sense? What you can do with this trick Along with any of the other tricks in this video You can kind of be stationary And just practice popping and locking into the trick Find that kind of teaches you how to Kind of shift your weight over and lock in And kind of pop out So if you can do it stationary You can go a bit faster and faster than I'm sure enough you're gonna learn how to Move over or the Frontside 50.50 Or the Backside 50.50 with ease The next trick we're going to talk about today Is we're going to talk about the Backside 50.50 This trick is a brother of the Frontside 50.50 I find it a little bit Harder since you're approaching on your Backside meaning your back Is towards the ledge as opposed to your front When you do a Frontside 50.50 So when you're approaching your Backside 50.50 I kind of roll in on an angle like this It's a bit more tweaked than the Frontside 50.50 I don't know why I'm just comfortable with it. The same Same goes, you want to be able to pop a smooth Olly not too high. I kind of ride the Front Truck A bit more here just to lock in Yeah, you want to Olly lock in, keep your knees bent And just ride that edge So the same thing goes for the Backside 50.50 You can lay your board down Run and jump on it And kind of practice riding that edge here Be sure to keep your shoulders parallel With the ledge Alright guys, the next trick we're going to be talking about today Is the Backside Boardside Yeah, generally When people are learning this trick They don't want to jump straight onto a rail Obviously because it's a bit scary You can practice it on a ledge Then again, if you can If you can Olly and you can Frontside 180 That's all you're going to need for this trick And you're going to need a balance So what you're going to want to do is You want to kind of Olly So you want to Olly about here Rotate your shoulders open And you want to kind of aim You don't know how waxed the ledge is You can lock in like this But you're going to need hella wax Where your wheels are going to slide Unless you're like hauling ass and you're going really fast But usually I tell people To kind of hop on in the middle Just so they can teeter-tot on the edge a bit So they can just kind of Get that board control of being in a board slide So pretty much you want to Olly You want to pop an Olly Aim for here And another key thing is You want to kind of At least on the ledge, you want to kind of Olly And you want to kind of lean back on your heels a tiny bit You don't want to kind of be bent Because usually when you boardside a rail You want to keep your knees bent and you want to lean forward For a ledge It's kind of opposite in a way You're going to Olly Aim to lock here So that's what you're going to be kind of aiming for Lean back on your heels a tiny bit Slide out Once you get to the end of the ledge I don't know if you can kind of just Pop out and lean sideways And kind of tic-tac away But this trick you can kind of do it in baby steps The next trick in this video Is the backside nose slide Pretty simple Kind of similar to the backside board slide But where you're locking in You want to lock in on your nose So you want to squash your truck And your nose on top of the ledge Or your truck against the ledge You want to approach But not super straight Slightly parallel You want to Olly And what you're aiming to do is You're jamming that in here So you want to Olly Jam here So the pinch point would be The front end of your base plate Like this Against the ledge The nose on top of the ledge So you want to have your foot about When you're on it Because if your foot's too far forward You're going to scrape I find it best to kind of Put your foot Probably around here Just below the front bolts So when you Olly and you lock it in Your foot's kind of right In that pocket there And you're able to keep your weight Centered along this line here Slide And then when you come out You're going to want to kind of rotate your shoulders Any of the tricks in this video You can practice some stationary Which is the beauty in this trick You can kind of just stand Or roll really slowly parallel to the ledge Pop, lock in And practice kind of turning out And getting your board forward again So the three key elements to the backside Nose slide is popping Locking in Leaning forward a bit Keeping your weight centered over the nose And the ledge The backside crooked drone Now a lot of people want to learn this trick Because it looks sick Once you learn how to do them properly They come pretty easy I mean it's kind of a cross between A backside 50-50 And a backside nose slide So if you can back 50-50 And you can back nose slide This trick is for you So you want to approach the ledge once again Not super parallel, but kind of You want to pop I tend to put my foot A bit further back than what I normally would For like a nose slide Because if I pop from here And I want to lock into a K My foot ends up over here And then my toes touch a ledge And it stops me from grinding I usually put my foot a bit further back So when I ollie By the time I lock in My foot's right in that sweet spot And I'll show you guys where to lock in Now the secret to this trick is the pinch And lock in here And I'll show you guys exactly where to pinch When you want to lock into a K You want to kind of squash Your heel down And put your weight right kind of here It's called the pinch So if you can like ollie and pinch your heel down like this Keep your weight centered The board's going to kind of slide You want to lock in nice and then you're going to grind So yeah when you're ollie and you lock in You're going to kind of want to lock in Like you can hear that squeak You're going to kind of want to lock in Like this So if you guys take a look at this Lock in here You can see that My truck is kind of on an angle The front wheel's above the ledge And the bottom wheel's kind of hovering You want to go for that squash right here Keep all your weight centered Above the ledge and squash it right here My phone died so I'm just going to show you guys here You can practice this trick stationary So you can kind of stand there stationary I'll show you guys real quick When I was learning K Grounds What I struggled with for a long time was popping out I couldn't seem to pop out I'd just kind of fall out If you're locked into this trick and you have your knees bent All you need to do Is give it the slightest nudge on your nose And because of the pressure Kind of built up in that lock The board's going to pop out and naturally Kind of go back to being straight Alright guys if you guys have watched the video this far Thank you very much I hope those tips were useful for you guys If you have any questions about any of the tricks Let me
