  • The 5 easiest ledge tricks in skateboarding that you can learn today on a ledge or box! The tricks include backside boardslide, backside noseslide (or slappy noseslide), frontside 50-50, frontside 50-50 frontside 180 out, and frontside 5-0 grind (plus backside 50-50 as an honorable mention). There are easier tricks you can do such as ride off, jump on grind, etc., but these are the first 5 "real" ledge tricks that I learned and are fundamental tricks that open a lot of doors. In this video I share tips and wisdom on how to land each trick to help you wrap your mind around them and gain the confidence to get out and learn them in one day. Filmed at Ponderosa Skatepark in Bend, Oregon. Keep me posted on your progression in the comments!
    // update: no, I'm not back in Bend! I got the flu so I couldn't film a normal friday skate vlog this week 😖🤒 this was going to be december's bonus video, but i was super burnt out on editing for vlogmas plus wasn't too hyped on this video for whatever reason so I just let it go. since i was sick in bed this week with nothing to do, I decided I might as well finish this one up and not let it go to waste! hope you learn something and get inspired to skate by this video 💟

      Worth noting that if you're having troubles getting your back truck to lock in on 50 50's to fix your gaze further down the ledge.
      I struggled with this for a while until someone suggested I look ahead instead of focusing on the centre of my board/ledge.

    Surprisingly the front 5-0 was crazy easy for me. I landed it on my first try. I think it’s the only trick I’ve ever landed first the first time on the first try. I think back crooks should also be on the list. They feel really natural for me

    Hey George, your tips are mad helpful. I love that you identify things I never even paid attention to. Like, our eyes/view suggestion, and how going fast when you're learning something else will mess up your timing. This compliment comes from an older skateboarder who had all these tricks for years but with the sloppiest form that made me more likely to injure myself on some dumb sh**.
    VIDEO REQUESTS
    - Whether to pinch heelside vs. toeside for different grinds and slides.
    - Some more regarding eye movement, like you did with this video. (you seem to have that covered, homie, but I'm thinking how useful it will be for every trick)!
    - How to adjust pop for speed
    - detailed tutorials on body posture (aside from foot placement). I'd love an analysis of ideal ways to use your arms and shoulders. What common body posture mistakes ppl make & what happens when they make those mistakes, Etc. Could you help identify & clean up issues with our tricks? 100%.
    - when to shift your center of gravity, where to put your weight on for the roll-up, etc. I'm experimenting with these details for the first time and having mixed results since before I mindlessly went for it. Paying attention actually messes me up, but it will make me a more consistent skater in the long run.
    - POV shots of you doing the tricks would be helpful. Maybe could even develop a VR app. I think visualizing is a form of practice in itself. It gets our body and mind ready to do it. I feel like if you're wearing a helmet, you're 90% ready to have a POV GoPro angle.
    I bet you can grow your audience by offering "intermediate tips" for skaters who can do the tricks already but wanna see it broken down so we can identify strengths/weaknesses. These little tips, like where to look, etc., can help intermediate, non-tutorial guys nail their tricks with more control, confidence, and consistency.
    Your tutorials are already mad helpful thank you. I'm just suggesting these ideas bc I think they'd make a world of difference to skaters who are watching even though they can do the tricks. And it's something nobody else is doing that I'm aware of. Breaking bad habits to create good ones is essential, so I think it's worth experimenting with at some point.
    Peace homie
