Cross locked bs 5050 on flat bars. Never had a good flat bar growing up so I never figured them out. Luckily the diy spot has a really long 6in tall circle rail to do em on and finally got the courage to start doing a few on the taller one today. Did a line where I did back 50 on the little one and then carve around and do then back 50 the bigger one, felt good

I've been trying to learn nollie back tails over past few months and cannot get myself to turn out consistently. I can slide them fairly consistently but getting out has eluded me. So many times I end up sliding a short bit and sticking but end up on the top of the curb on sidewalk side or I just slide until i slide out.
I really want this one. It's the 1st genuinely new trick I'm trying to learn in ages.
So close but so far...

Where are you looking when you do them?
I’ve found that if you look slightly the direction you’re sliding your head is turned so your shoulders naturally follow your head and the rest of your body follows.

Trying to learn how to tre, its been a month and still no progress. I was able to land a couple almost a year ago but ive come up empty handed ever since.

Right now I can "pop" the board and it can do the full rotation and flip, but it goes so high up in the air that im unable to catch it. I end up using my front foot to reach for it when my board hits the ground, so it just looks like a wonky no comply trick. If i try to pop less then the tre never even happens in the first place.

I might try it up a bank or just give up alltogether.

If you haven’t tried fakie tre, I would try that. It’s easier to get the flip without putting that much pop into it. Once you have fakie tre, regular tre will come easier.

Exiting mid ledge from a BS crooked grind, I'm not asking for a Tiago-sized nollie out, just a clean mid ledge exit. I best I get are awful ones where i go from crook to noseslide to coming out regular. The times I've tried nudging out mid ledge I end up primo not can't pull myself far away from the ledge to stop my nose from getting caught on it again.

I think I end up looking down at my board too long to make sure I'm getting in smooth.
Are you looking between your body and arm?
thanks for the insight. gonna make mental note to incorporate

You need to practice the nollie out from a crook stall. 4:18 in Ben's video: https://youtu.be/KjOvwoExz8E?t=258

Once you can nollie out of the stall, you need to pop into the crooked grind from the right angle to get your weight in the right place for the nollie out. If you get into the crooked grind right, you can stand on top of it and popping out will feel the same as the stall.

Toward my front shoulder at the curb. Just general direction of travel(I do the same on front boards).

Gonna try and use that little nugget as soon as this heel bruise/pain goes away.
