This may be the only trick how-to that's ever actually taught me something. I've been able to smith grind for 20 some years but never figured out feeble grinds. But the way you describe the "jut your board forward" unlocked it for me. Never even heard the word jut before but I knew what you meant. Did not think I'd be learning any new trick. I usually stick to relearning and combining the ones I already do. And I learned a new word. Amazing breakdown of a trick and the filming was perfect.
Salvation Skateboards thanks! I hope you find helpful tips for your slappy journey. I don’t know very many tricks, but I really like slappies and hopefully can help take some of the mystery out of them for people👍
@@christianpena5123 try to to turn out before your momentum fizzles out. Keep pressure on your back heel the whole time, including when you turn out. Once you make a couple of them successfully, you're in business!
They lasted a bit more than a year once I started skated curbs a lot during the pandemic. The back truck broke, but it was more than halfway through the axle by then
Ruben Montes thanks for the kind words! It was my hope to do how-to vids that are a little more useful, practical and understandable so people might have a better chance of success learning the move. 🙏🍕👍
Marty thanks for the kind words! I find a lot of trick tips too vague. I was trying to legitimately provide a truly helpful trick tip. I’ve got trick tips for good ole BS slappies and also FS slappies. Hopefully they are helpful to you if you are still learning those moves. I’ll likely do some more trick tips in the future. Probably transition tricks, since that is mostly what I skate any more. Street skating is brutal on my knees and ankles. 👍
Is it ok to use the tail to lift the nose over? I see a lot of skaters doing that. And it looks like you´re doing it too..? I thought you was surpose to smash the front truck into the curb so the nose bounces over the curb, and you then fall into a feeble-position..? Nice video! :-)
I put pressure on the tail to get the front truck over the curb, for sure. Classic FS and BS slappy grinds (50-50) I do not. Maybe a person could do a feeble without putting pressure on the tail, but I don’t envision it working. I could be mistaken, though!
Here is another version of the feeble I did for the Curbfiles about a year ago. A bit more slo-motion POV, too th-cam.com/video/zIrRwWcFO1A/w-d-xo.html
@@handywithshovels Thanks for the reply! I see. I recently got back on the board after almost 25 years. And discovered slappies. So much fun! And safer now that I´m getting older. :-D I learned backside and frontside 50-50, so now backside feeble is next on the list. ;-) Nice to get some advice from someone who obviously has a lot of experience with slappies. So that I don´t learn it «the wrong way.» Thanks for posting videos. Your channel is very helpful. Enjoying the Curbfiles too. Greetings from Norway :-)
@@ElisainNatureslappies are super fun!!! I started skating curbs tons more when the COVID lockdowns were super strict. I suspect you might find the feeble easier than the backside 50-50. 😎 Regardless, have fun!! 👍👍
Great tutorial. Is it easier on a straight edge curb (such as the one in the video) as opposed to a more rounded curb? I seem to be getting stuck on my king pin on my rounded curb. Thanks
Sorry i didn’t respond earlier. I didn’t initially see your post! I’ve never had the opportunity to try a feeble on a curb with a round edge. However, an edu-skated guess is that it would be more difficult to lock on the heel side wheel to hold the desired position. As for the kingpin scrub, it definitely is part of the process. It will grind down to where it doesn’t interfere. That’s part of the fun: grinding the ever-loving crap out of our trucks
@@handywithshovels dude!!!!! I could tell what board you had by the shape, I knew you would be asked about it so I checked the comments and I was right!!!! I really wish I could find a new naverrette model.... Closest I have found recently is the lucero 8.88 black label..... Hopefully creature drops another naverrette model soon, let me know what other boards feel similar though if you have any tips!!!!!
@@zaintaylor2358 I LOVE the Navarrette model so much I bought a second one right before everything went sideways with the covid mess. Manak Skates offers a built from scratch model that is similar flavor. I bought one in November. You can contact them through his web page to see which deck is the one you want that is the general shape. jonnymanak.bigcartel.com/category/manak-skates
@@handywithshovels thank you so much, I will definitely be throwing some business that way, I dig that 9' shovel head shape, you are definitely right about it being a similar flavor! Haha. I am definitely stoked that you turned me onto that site, cool skull graphic, I might pick up a couple of those patches too, and maybe a shirt and hat, haha. How would you compare the quality of the deck you picked up in November to the creature decks???? They make a pretty bold claim, saying their hand glued decks last 3x's as long, and "everlasting pop" haha. How do you feel about that??? You are obviously a great person to get an opinion from, I am definitely going to be checking out your video's, I just subscribed, and I cant wait to get the slappy feeble down, I just started to mess around with approaching the trick yesterday, but it was rainy and I was on my rain board, instead of my daily driver, I really dig your Chanel though, and greatly appreciate you responding to me!!!!
@@zaintaylor2358 the manak boards are beautiful, imo. Each one is done by hand from the raw materials to finished item, so each one is unique. Consequently, the QC is eagle eye and in house. Jonny is a good dude and rad skater, and he skates the boards he makes. In fact, his boards are popular at the parks around San Jose area. I haven’t assembled mine just yet (got injured day after Xmas), but look foward to skating it once my cast is off. For me, I’d rather spend a tiny bit more to the guy who is actually making the boards locally. That to me is worth trying it, ya know?
I like how they turn! I’m in my second pair of Aces now. The ones I’m skating in this video finally broke after getting ground into oblivion. My current set I left completely stock. I did have to replace the pivot bushings because they wore out, though.
saw that groove on your back truck and knew i was in the right place
Literally one of the most succinct, well-shot skate tutorials I've ever seen on TH-cam. This guy actually knows how to explain something. Kudos.
Thank you for the props!
That groove is a testimony to the technique
dude thank you ive been looking for advice on these but idk anyone else who does them, i can do it but its so inconsistent this helped
randomrandooom thanks for the kind words! I’m glad the video helped you get this trick! It’s a fun one, for sure!
Great talk through. It is just a rad looking trick on a curb.

nice groove! very thorough tutorial. thank you
Thank you! 👍
Those grooves 🙌🏻

This was pretty neat brother. Please keep makin videos.

Love your videos man, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Thanks dude. Watched this video a few times and managed to learn them using this method.
🙏🙏
I'm just trying to learn slappys and I had a few people recommend your channel. Slappy feeble? That's wild

Looks like such a cool trick. Definitely have to give that a go one of these days. Nice explanation.

How long did those trucks last you? You are totally on that axle now which is rad.
They lasted a bit more than a year once I started skated curbs a lot during the pandemic. The back truck broke, but it was more than halfway through the axle by then
omg that truck wear is beautiful
Miles Thompson 🙏 it’s like a badge of honor! And actually, most of it came from coping on various bowls and ramps around my area.!
Are you from San Joaquin County? I saw the Slip skate shop sticker and I’m assuming that you’re from Stockton California.
Yes
Speaking of grooves....”gotta get that gullwing groove”.
ayyy creekside school yea???? they're doing construction on it right now but it'll be back lol
These tips are actually practical! 👍

It finally broke! th-cam.com/video/LdTf_6J7DkY/w-d-xo.html

What deck was this? I like the shaped decks and I like to ride wider decks
Thanks for the compliment! The board is a Creature Darren Navarrette model. It’s 8.8”’wide

I think the feeble might be a bit easier than a regular BS slappy, don’t you think?
Are you riding Tracker dart trucks?
Ryan Donaldson I’m skating Ace 55s
@@handywithshovels what wheels?
Ryan Donaldson spitfire formula 4 conical fulls. They were initially 56mm, but are pretty worn down now.

Pretty sure he has
