Title: How to put weight on feet
Post by: Don on August 03, 2020, 06:42:43 PM

I have disbalanced feet problem, I can do crooked grinds, nosegrinds, noseslides no problem, but I can’t do proper tailslides, 5-0s, smiths and feebles and I try to do them for many years. I can’t put weight on my back foot all my weight on the front foot and because of that my regular flip tricks are pretty good but can’t do nollie and switch(I try but it pretty bad). I don’t do transition(we don’t have parks in my town) to learn how to shift my weight. And I need some advice pls help. And sorry if it was hard to read.

Maybe practice a bunch of 5-0 and tail stalls on a little, unwaxed curb riding up at almost a perpendicular angle and try to hold them there.  That way you can get used to the weight distribution on the least-intimidating obstacle without having to worry about slipping out.

Once you get the feel for them and get a little more confident, you can start little by little going faster and at a more parallel angle and voila!...watch as that stall gradually becomes a grind/slide.  Gotta crawl before you can walk, y’know?

Just remember to invite me on your soty trip when the time comes.
