Thank you so much for explaining the foot placement while grinding. This helped alot and I finally got them consistent on square rails. You are a big help.
Thank you for this! Definitely noticed during your tutorial that I've been focusing most of my weight/pressure on the ball and front of my foot rather than towards my heel for a long time (probably why I always cheater 180. Haha). Gonna tinker with this one for sure. Thanks again, and keep shredding!
I've really let my grind game suffer, I mostly skate transition(a planter box style quarter pipe thing) and do no complys. I should really work on my grinds and tricks that require actual pop. I used to be good at front smiths but wasn't ever consistent with back feebles because I was too used to doing smiths. Maybe it's a good time to relearn both properly since I'm not great at either at this point.
Still trying to get this grind down after skating off and on since 1999! I can backside 50/50 front side 50/50 backside board slide on rails. I can grind the feeble grind but I can't land it I can't get off of the rail. Square rail.
I would. They are more my style than most other shoes out there to be honest. But I know I will take a little heat for it. They look like one of the more innovative shoes out there right now. I'm really interested to see how that material skates.
I heard a story that they were called feeble grinds because the guy who invented them (or who made them popular) was a really skinny guy and since his buddies nicknamed him feeble, they named the grind after him! I'll need to check that, I'm not super sure about all that
Just checked, that's from wikipedia : "The name feeble grind came from Josh Nelson's friend and fellow skateboarder Sean Donnelley. Sean used to call Josh "the feeb" which was short for feeble, because Nelson was so skinny and often had broken limbs and injuries from skateboarding" but your explanation would also make sense I guess!
Ben, Would you be able to do a trick tip on how to feeble grind on transition. I know that you’ve covered this on a rail, however on transition would be great 👍
Noticed the modus sticker, what's that from? I use modus hardware on all my decks, but actually just this weekend got some modus "titanium" bearings to try out. No impressions so far. They're definitely bearings. Anyhow, they all come with that same sticker, so I have a ton of them. Curious where you got yours.
It's from some bearings someone sent me. I have them on some really soft wheels so I can't tell if they are good or not. Like you said, they do seem to roll.
Ben, what size wheel should i buy so that my board isnt so floppy with the flip tricks but isnt so small it will make it hard to lock in feeb grinds? (Right now I ride 57s)
I have a lot of problems on this trick, one of my problems is how to prepare the arms to start the trick, and every moment at the trick I don’t know what to do with my arms
dude whenever i get the lock-in perfect my kingpin gets caught and i can't do it lmao so i'm thinking get the krux kingpin or just wax the fuck out of it
I struggle with only being able to come out of feebles to fakie. Never have I done a feeble to regular in all my years of doing that trick. I find myself locking in strange where I am more so on my toe side and can only sometimes shift my weight to my heel, usually by accident or just enough to give a good pop on the 180. any more tips on helping me come out to regular ?
Maybe try to lean back enough to go into a 5-0 grind. Feeble to 5-0's are kind of tough but just trying to do that might get you leaning back enough to pull it off. It really just sounds like you need to lean back more and try to intentionally get your weight in that back pocket.
Solid how to technique by taking off the shoe and showing foot placement on the board. You are a natural teach.
Good video. Feeble grinds are so easy for me on transition but they scare the hell out of me on flat bars and rails. Time for me to step it up!!

Skateboard lessons from the Vancouver carpenter make me so happy. 😊
You really are the best skateboarding channel!
Sick! I've been trying to learn these for years
sick tutorial really helped me out alot
Solid tips Ben! Would love the same video for front feebs/back smiths on flat bars as well
I agree about round rails being easier to lock in. I prefer round bars in general
great in depth tutorial man. I really enjoy your videos.

I keep thinking of you doing this trick, wearing baggy outfits. 🔥😁
Any throwback clip? Haha
Solid tips! Thanks ben
This trick is terrifying I’m not gonna lie
Love your channel! I was wondering if you were Canadian and then saw the flag in the back!
Nice one! Going to practice them this week.
Good video. Value added.
Nice video Bro. Thanks. I sometimes end up doing something like this in the miniramp.
Great! Thanks.
Thank you
Hey! I know you from some awesome plastering videos. Right on dude, thanks!
Thx for the tips Ben 👊🏼
I'll land it today 💪🏼
good luck bro i tried for a few hours yesterday and it was fucking killing me
' and just know you're not going to land them' hahah

2:21 Really Well Waxed Rails....Sheesh, what a tongue twister xD
Would you wear the nyjah Huston Nike sb’s if they were given to you?
I would. They are more my style than most other shoes out there to be honest. But I know I will take a little heat for it. They look like one of the more innovative shoes out there right now. I'm really interested to see how that material skates.
Ben Degros have subs noticed you yet at local parks?
Yes it does happen sometimes.
I heard a story that they were called feeble grinds because the guy who invented them (or who made them popular) was a really skinny guy and since his buddies nicknamed him feeble, they named the grind after him! I'll need to check that, I'm not super sure about all that

Been trying this trick, the hardest part is, not getting my truck lock onto the rail😐
Thanks Ben!
Great job! 💪
Gonna try soon
Just scared of those😬
Wish me luck

Ben,
Would you be able to do a trick tip on how to feeble grind on transition. I know that you’ve covered this on a rail, however on transition would be great 👍
Those Vegan Aussie Blokes just get good feeble stalls with the good sideways lock-in and just go fast as shit and full send
Wat is the best flip any1 has ever done from a backside feeble grind

really great tutorial+
Ben, what size wheel should i buy so that my board isnt so floppy with the flip tricks but isnt so small it will make it hard to lock in feeb grinds? (Right now I ride 57s)
54 would be a good size. My flip tricks are still a bit floppy but manageable. Also they will wear down to 52's pretty quick.
I can grind them perfectly, but can’t get out! It always slips into a boardslide at the very end of the rail, either that or the board flips.
can you give a tip on how to approach this trick on a ledge?
best tutorial yeah!
Thank you for this video
Que pasa si me siento mucho mas comodo y hago con mas facilidad el fs boardslide que boarslide normal? Algun trick tip para eso?
Where is this park Ben. I like the set up
This is the Tsawwassen park. It's fun. I go there on weekends fairly often.
youre so lucky, my city is covered in ice
Cool tips man :) Really like your channel! - I wish for a how to 5050 the rail. tried it so many times, but I can't crack it
Thats a great point!
I have a lot of problems on this trick, one of my problems is how to prepare the arms to start the trick, and every moment at the trick I don’t know what to do with my arms
I been wanting to learn this but i dont get how to land on your back truck u cant see it whenever i do there i just olie over the rail):
At 0:38 I was more focused on the scooter kids than the tutorial
Lisandro Godinez same
I like feebling ledges or square rails
mini logo deck review?
Nice !
I keep getting into it and grinding but I can’t get out of it
Please do how to bs 5050 on rail!!
I've done back 50-50, salad grind, blunts slides, crooks, but can't feeble.
I find feebles easier on square rails. It´s all preference
Sick feebs!!!
Thanks a lottt
Funny I got smiths on lock but can’t seem to bs feeble for the life of me.
Weird
Just gonna start thinking of it as an Ollie over to smith instead of a completely other trick
Wait wtf ben which part are you I'm canada I'm a local twas skater😂
I go to Tsawwassen all the time. I live in the Vancouver area.
dude whenever i get the lock-in perfect my kingpin gets caught and i can't do it lmao so i'm thinking get the krux kingpin or just wax the fuck out of it

How to bs crooked grind please. Give me your secrets.
That one will be coming soon.
I find this trick so impossible to land on the rail and not board slide
Boardslide and don’t turn that much boom that’s how I got it
I once tried to feeble grinder but the I came to the realization I am morbidly obese and haven’t left my bed for the last 18months
When U keep doing boardslide
