Thanks man! This is the best instructional I've found so far on how to do this. For us old dudes learning new stuff, this is great! More bowl and transition videos greatly appreciated!!
Dude, thank you for the clarification. I've been slashing for ages and always wondered why some people's frontside grinds looked so much cooler than mine.
I was grinding these but having trouble coming in. A guy at the park gave me a tip that really helped. He said to drop your front truck into a fs smith but let your wheels catch to go back in. I started to stick it consistently almost immediately after I started to focus on dropping those front wheels down into the transition. I found leaning on the heel-side wheel (which I do to get out of fs 5050s) was much harder with a standup grind.
I just landed yesterday. Thanks for the help. I learned how to go back in by sliding into tail stall then dropping in, eventually it became one quick smooth motion.
Everybody knows this stuff...except me :) So big thanks for the detailed explanation on hangups. I dislocated my shoulder with one some years ago and i fear them.But knowledge is a great way to conquer fears.
If you're uncomfortable with visualizing it with weight on your heel, think of it like in the arch of your foot but the outer edge of your foot arch in the pocket of your tail, that feels good
2 foot transition? I started skating in the 80's in England and the only stuff with coping was vert ramps. So that's what we learnt on. I am so jealous of what kids have today. It's no wonder everyone rips Edit: I come of as a bitter old fart in that comment. If the cap fits and all that
Thanks so much bro, amazing break down of the trick. I think you’re a bit like me, more on the side of an over-thinker so your explanation is thorough. Chur!
Funny thing is i learned and got comfortable with stand up grinds and stall etc. For me going back to try slash and carve grinds i find that more scary like thats going to hang me up on the coping that sticks out as the wheel pops over
Great video. When practicing these I keep going to tail before going back into the ramp. How do I avoid going to tail and keeping it a standup grind the whole time? I don’t want to go to tail.
I can only do these is I go at them fakie and come out revert to fakie. I never learned front slashes though, I've never felt comfortable with them, let alone carving in a bowl frontside. Got to go back to some basics when I find a good bowlmini to practice in. Local park only has straight angle planter boxes, bank ramps, and a few quarter pipes. There are others in driving distance I'm just lazy and a creature of habit.
Nice video. Will we see one for backside grinds? It's funny how these basics never really felt like "tricks" so i never bothered to learn them properly.
Anyone have opinion on using heel pressure to get back in versus hopping (small ollie) back in? I like idea of heel pressure more because i have a bad knee though i can only do to tail right now to get back in and wanna learn this trick
Nice break down. I think what freaks a lot of people out about this trick, is when they wash out and then bail by jumping over the front of the board...very bad idea. Much safer to squat down and try to grab the coping, if you're too cool to wear knee pads.
What park is that? Davis, CA. ? That's lucky to have a park like that with no one getting in your way. I have slash grinds down pretty good... I can also frontside 50-50 super good so... looking to take the next step to "stand up grinds." I have a suggestion. Roll frontside on the deck and get used to dropping in frontside... Next roll frontside and manual and drop in... Next roll frontside manual into the coping, grind and drop in, etc...
I think the hard part for a beginner (me) is being afraid of not locking in properly and overshooting. My worst bails on the mini ramp are always overshooting and going headfirst into the transition
Still enjoying your channel. This isn't related but do you know where this spot is and if it still exists? ua-cam.com/video/WqlvBzgw3EQ/v-deo.html I've always assumed it was in Vancouver but I can't figure it out. Thanks!
That spot is Tsawwassen water reservoir. A suburb of Vancouver. It was a really fun spot. It was around for years until they decided to put up big fences around it. It's been unskateable for a decade or so.
Ben Degros That’s awesome. Virtual is my favorite skate video of all time. I watch at least some of it every day. Tony, Mike and Friends especially, but for sure Colin. Right now I’m really stoked on all the Manny variations he did in the parking garage. So good and he wasn’t even known for that stuff.
I can only 50-50. Cannot slash grind. I can pump fakie. I cannot rock to fakie or any rock stall. But i am very well at 5050s and by the title of the video im watchin im trying to learn this
Do a very slow roll-over-the-coping-to-tail, hold it for a second, then just drop in like a normal tail-drop drop-in. When you get comfortable doing that, do everything a little faster. Then do it even faster. When you get comfortable doing that, then just do the same basic motion, but WITHOUT going to tail. And of course, start out with smaller transition.
The trick to learning these is finding very small quarterpipe with perfect cooping. The lowest you can find. 2 foot. Or even without cooping. I learned them this way. It’s all timing, when you approach the cooping do a little manual. Then push down right before hitting the cooping. Be light footed. Once you got them on lock on the small quarter, take to a bigger quarter. This is true for frontside roll in. Backside is a little different. Doing them backside, you need to briefly grind the cooping. Be confident an commit
What deck is that? It seems pretty squarish and I'm trying to find one which doesn't taper with decent wb and wanna try something new from real full se ahhahaha As always awesome video, much love from Italy ❤️
Getting in to the grind is not my problem. It’s getting out. Scary....okay i’m gona focus on that heel thingy when coming back in. Did not realise that. Thanks Ben!
Standup grind yes. a 5-0 grind is a nose grind as a 5-0 is on the nose of the board. Love how new-school is confused as to what a 5-0 is. Comes from standing on the nose of the surfboard. We would have called this a rear-axel grind.
It took me the most effort to commit to dropping back in after front-side grinding. Then I started taking them to fakie and now it's one of my favorite ways to setup for a fakie trick. Wanna hear a crazy story? Mr. Dress-up( Ernie Coombs) fought Mr Rogers(Fred Rogers) about 16 years ago out side a casino in Milwaukee and Mr.Dress-up mopped the floor with that sweater-vest wearing Yank. About a year after that Mr.Rogers met with an old acquaintance of Dress-ups and got her to set up a meeting between the two as to "squash" the beef. Little did she know Mr Rogers was actually plotting for his revenge on Mr.Dress-up for making him look like a pussy in front of the same group of people he'd been telling bullshit tough-guy stories to all night as he labored down Zimas as if they tasted like alcohol. The meeting happened and no one's seen Rogers since. "Rumor has it", Mr. Dress-up got rid of his tickle trunk soon after said "meeting" took place. Ernie Coombs died on September 18th 2001 and took the truth of this tale to his grave. To add even more mystery to this chilling tale of a life long rivalry is the fact that Fred Rogers died on Feb 27th...2003! ...Spooky isn't it.
Ben Degros LOL, yeah it's the first time that story has ever been told...by anyone....because it's made up...by me...for fun..ny. Were you even the slightest entertained?
Doesn't make sense why Frontside 5-0 should have the "inside" back wheel against the coping, and Backside 5-0 should have the "outside" back wheel against the coping. Risk of hangup should be equal.
I agree that it seems like Frontside 5-0 should mirror the backside version. I experimented with standing on a frontside 50-50 with toe wheel against the coping and realized there is something about toe pressure not being firm enough that it flips off the coping. After that I now see why you need the heel side wheel against the coping.
Why don't you wear pads and a helmet bro... your a dad should be setting an example.. I know you want to show the camera how beautiful you are but come on bro set an example for the kids.
How to frontside 5-O. Step 1: Watch this video. Step 2: Go to park, try the stuff Step 3: Later that night, watch this video again. Wake up watch the video again. Step 4: Go back to the park, try the stuff. Sometimes I watch this video at the park while trying the stuff. lol!

Guy's this skater dad is #1
Great explanation bro!
Everybody knows this stuff...except me :)
So big thanks for the detailed explanation on hangups.
I dislocated my shoulder with one some years ago and i fear them.But knowledge is a great way to conquer fears.
Cool! I'd be happy with slash grinds right now..:)
i have trouble with this trick all the time thanks for the help.
I was getting nervous ptsd anxiety just watching. This trick and smiths are my dream tricks before my body gives out on me
Find a small enough quarter pipe and get on them. Build a little two or one foot quarterpipe if you have to.
Another great tutorial definitely taking this info to the park
If you're uncomfortable with visualizing it with weight on your heel, think of it like in the arch of your foot but the outer edge of your foot arch in the pocket of your tail, that feels good

Frontside stand up grind! My favorite trick. Feel like a g when you get those ling ass ones.
great clear instructions as always ! thank you Ben.
I used to skate the exact same deck. Amazing videos man!
Trying to learn them on vert, on mellow pool coping, yes scary, thank ya!
Funny thing is i learned and got comfortable with stand up grinds and stall etc. For me going back to try slash and carve grinds i find that more scary like thats going to hang me up on the coping that sticks out as the wheel pops over
you deserve more views!!
If you go frame by frame at 4:46 it looks like there's NO pressure on the heelside back wheel!
Back on the vans I see!
Thanks for this video mate, I really need to pony up with this trick.
Great video. When practicing these I keep going to tail before going back into the ramp. How do I avoid going to tail and keeping it a standup grind the whole time? I don’t want to go to tail.
Great video. I think of it like it´s just a longer slash grind. Like a 50/50 grind it´s all in the approach to the coping, more of an angle.
These definitely scare me. Great tutorial 👌🏻 may have to try em’ once my wrist is healed
its been 2 years got em down yet?
I can only do these is I go at them fakie and come out revert to fakie. I never learned front slashes though, I've never felt comfortable with them, let alone carving in a bowl frontside. Got to go back to some basics when I find a good bowlmini to practice in. Local park only has straight angle planter boxes, bank ramps, and a few quarter pipes.

I would say to b on the heel the whole time, no? Once u get on top the coping ur on the heel
i think the resistance of pool coping helps me learn
Please do a fs smith on coping tutorial 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the help!
Nice video. Will we see one for backside grinds? It's funny how these basics never really felt like "tricks" so i never bothered to learn them properly.
This trick is so addicting once learned
aye your videos are dope don't stop making
Thank you!
Nice tips. Im going to try it. Thanks.
Excellent explanation, good presentation and execution. It would look cool if you could have your knees bent and lean way back.
superb tutorial subbed !
Learning longer manuals really lends itself to learning longer 5-0s, too.
Gracias por tus consejos !!
This is a nice bowl, where is it?
I'll need to get my frontside slash grinds on first! 🤣
Anyone have opinion on using heel pressure to get back in versus hopping (small ollie) back in? I like idea of heel pressure more because i have a bad knee though i can only do to tail right now to get back in and wanna learn this trick
yes i am wanting to lean these dope cause i live in silverton where there is a bowl and ive gotta get good
I always go tail back in I need to try it without that
Thanks!

it's Gleaneagles in Horseshow Bay (West Vancouver) BC
Thanks
Great instructions
I'm adding a 3 Ft half pipe do you think 8 ft flat is too much?
Even a fs slash is still at the Extremely Scary level for me, never know why.
I think the hard part for a beginner (me) is being afraid of not locking in properly and overshooting. My worst bails on the mini ramp are always overshooting and going headfirst into the transition
Hahaha! I was just working on those tonight.
what wheel size do you use? They look pretty big...
Yay, another Ben Degros video!
high guys
Sick! Thanks bruh..
Awesome
I feel like people would still consider slash grinds as 5-0s though , people are dumb but hell yeah man another great video keep it up
Review Jordan Sanchez's Welcome pro model :))
Ismaeel when he turn pro?
How do you review a skateboard ? It's wood it pops and the shape and graphic are both totally subjective...
bro respect you inspired thanks
30K subs!!! wohooo
Wow I hardly take time to comment but this is a very good tutorial
The smallest quarter in my area is 5ft 😔 uggghhh fear is a bitch
Great tips! Is this stock Gopro footage or did you color-correct? love from Europe
It's stock go pro
Its damn crisp imo ;)

Ben Degros Thanks for letting me know. Bummer it’s fenced off. Always get hyped on the footage. Colin in Virtual and of course all the Goldfish stuff.
Also, thanks for posting that part. Virtual reality was my first video I ever saw and I love Colin's part. I watched the whole thing.

How to fronstide?
Ben, I've been skating DC kalis lights because I give'r
Noice!

clicked on this video randomly and it's my local skatepark crazy
What park is this? What state?
@@TheStrvggler Glen eagles skatepark in Vancouver Canada
just curious, any tips for learning to roll in without dying??
I will make a video on it. It's a pretty risky maneuver.
Do a very slow roll-over-the-coping-to-tail, hold it for a second, then just drop in like a normal tail-drop drop-in. When you get comfortable doing that, do everything a little faster. Then do it even faster. When you get comfortable doing that, then just do the same basic motion, but WITHOUT going to tail. And of course, start out with smaller transition.

Once you got them on lock on the small quarter, take to a bigger quarter. This is true for frontside roll in. Backside is a little different. Doing them backside, you need to briefly grind the cooping. Be confident an commit
You can teach really good
Love you dad
Sickter!

has anyone ever seen The Rad Rat Skate? just asking... :P
🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
What deck is that? It seems pretty squarish and I'm trying to find one which doesn't taper with decent wb and wanna try something new from real full se ahhahaha
As always awesome video, much love from Italy ❤️
It's a Program deck. It's super blunt. Nice deck but a bit steep even for me. Tons of pop.
i can 50-50 on my new quarterpipe but can’t slash haha
Getting in to the grind is not my problem. It’s getting out. Scary....okay i’m gona focus on that heel thingy when coming back in. Did not realise that. Thanks Ben!

"Dillon" from 90210 creates a sk8 channel... because he's fed up with "Brenda's" B.S.
