Started back aggressive skating 3 weeks ago after 22 years out. Great videos!! Getting the body to do what the mind knows is the hardest part!

Him : thanks for taking the time to whatch my videos Me thanks for making this video Keep it rolling

6:23 That guy dropping in coffin style lmao

“Scissors” that’s the move when staggering your feet. Definitely helps with setting up your grinds!

Great tips! Never thought about setting my feet up before jumping into a grind. Will definitely keep these in mind during my next session.

Great optimization with that first tip! I didn't even think about setting my feet on the roll before the trick.

Started blading in 1996, wish there was someone like you to explain all those things at that time.

Was a big time skater 20 years ago, just now getting back into it. Even back then I never really grinded on anything. I always preferred to just skate ramps, drop in, do tricks in the air, but never grinding. Idk why, guess they kinda scare me to even try em 😂

Checking the arms helped me land my first royales. I noticed my shoulders were not "parallel" to the box that I was trying to grind. Because I was focused on looking at the end of the obstacle I was rotating my shoulders forward and away from the box unconsciously. I decided to look over my shoulder instead and point my elbow towards the end of the obstacle and it helped a lot!

Great tips as always! Some thoughts... Tip 1: imagine if you were skateboarding, you just made the trick significantly easier (or harder) Tip 3: my mate and I call it sweaty pits if your arms are down. Gotta show off your stains!

Best inline tutorials on KZfaq

This is great advice, i'm going to take a different approach next session and really pay attention to what my feet and hands are doing during the run-up. Thanks as always for the great content!!

On point bro'! Struggling with my first grinds rn. Will definitely keep this in mind next time!

Great tips as usual! Hope the family is well! Thanks for another great video!

Step 1 is a lifesaver! I constantly step up into grinds couldn't for the life work out how or why can't wait to to try setting it up thanks for the tip

Been a skateboarder all of my life but looking into transitioning towards aggressive inline skating. I’ve been watching all of your videos the last few days and they’re very helpful. Keep up the content bro, you just received a new subscriber.

I've been skating for more than 24 years and this kind of tips still helps me a lot!

Hey Josh! I truly want to say thanks for all your videos man. I got back into skating in March and came accross your channel at the time. Started watching some of your videos, then more and more every time as I started seeing how your tutorials accelerated the learning process. I have now watched all your videos and continue to rewatch them and take notes (like you mention) and it's incredible how much improvement I have gained just by picking up subtle details I missed the first time around on some of those videos. 2020 has definitely been a rough year for many, but keeping the blading alive has been one of the best things to come out it for the blading community. Happy Holidays to you and the family brother, and a big thank you from all your subscribers and viewers. Aloha🤙

Wow appreciate this video a lot! The staggering and setting up makes a lot of sense because I started noticing how I was swinging that front leg for my soul grinds. Also slowly practicing my topsides, I think i need a little more flexibility in my ankle because I can’t lock it in properly on ledges such a weird angle! Love your videos, just started skating 4months ago and your channel has been a blessing since I don’t know many other advanced aggressive bladers !

Love the switch setup tip! This explains why my switch soul has always felt better than my regular soul...BTW any chance of dropping a vid on going fakie out of a quarter pipe/zero spin grinds on a quarter...had to learn to go fakie and stall on my own and it certainly was a challenge without any guidance.

Great video dude! Definitely gonna use these tips going forward.

This is really helpful. Thank you!

Great tips! You are an og thank you for sharing and making this video! You awesome josh!

Yo! Just want to say thanks for making these videos. You might not hear that enough. I started skating back in June and am loving it thanks to your tips on tricks, warm-ups, etc. Keep it up man.

AMAZING ADVICE!!!! Thank you for the how to videos.🙏

Great tips! Gonna take these into account the next time!

Nice tips man specially the first one great video as always

Solid advice. These are subtle changes that lead to big differences in skating cleanly.

THX for your little but so detailed and important tips. These make me a better Aggressive inliner. :-) Greets from hamburg, germany.

I trying to get into aggressive skating I just started to inline skating after 20 years since not been skating love your videos very useful thanks man❤

Great tutorials man, never have thought of that “simple” first tip ✊🏽

Lol, the first piece of advice is gold. I always wondered why equally complex grinds like Soul Grind and Mizou are so different in difficulty for me. Mizou was just natural and Soul Grind was really difficult. And now I realized that my natural stance is with my right foot forward which is natural for Mizou and for Soul Grind I just need to switch. Simple, but would never guess that on my own.

You and your videos are a gift to the skate community especially for the newbies

Champion. Thanks boss. Teaching my son to skate and this will help him avoid all the terrible habits I developed back in the day.

Awesome advice mate!!!!!

These are amazing tips. I tried grinds on my Powerslide Next with Kizer Flux frames on 90mm wheels. It's true, you have to jump on top of a grind instead of chop at it from the side! Also, I noticed staggering the stance works well before I try and do a 360 spin.

I'm learning soul grinds now I'll keep in mind jumping up and pushing down with my feet is the better method!

Thanks for the tips, I haven't really thought about setting up before the trick and I think that would help a lot. I have a hard time judging how high I need to jump for my left foot(non-dominant) and if I can remember to jump up and above, I think could solve that problem. can't wait to go out and apply these tips!

Thanks for your tips ! Making agressive jnline skating down to belgium !

Great videos, thank you! It is very important and unobvious details, when u just a beginner.

So good to see you back! Another great tutorial. THANK YOU!!!

Keep up the awesome work! These tips and advice are perfect for beginners and oldies

great way to approach topsides!

Yes, this video helps A LOT🤛🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank you for your videos!! They're really helpful!

Love this video. Pls have more of these technical economic of movement like that on soul grind

Great video. Simple intuitive concepts explained well.

Grate points bro! Thanks :)

great explanations!

For someone struggling with grinds, these tips are something I havent thought of. Thanks dude!

Just got a fresh pair is USD Latimers after not skating for over a decade. This video was tremendously helpful

that skateboarder behind him doens't give up . i was so upset he did'nt make it.

Thanks for the videos man! Aloha

Yeahh Bro', thx for the tips. Good to know. And Thx for the New Video. Like Ever Good Time and Enjoy. Have Fun and Enjoy Agressiv Blading 😎✌️👍🤜🤛🔥

Thanks for the videos

Hi, thank you so much for your tips. Your videos help me a lot. I like your philosophy. I've made a lot of progress doing tricks. I'm a 49 years old girl in France.

just got the skating bug and your vids are the most helpful on the internet! big thanks

I'm almost 30 and I've been tryna gather the courage to get into aggressive inline skating by watching your videos pray for me 😅

Amazing bro

Lool, this makes me feel so good. I always jump on the obstacle when I grind, especially topsides, but everybody wants to tell me to chop. Now I have the proof that I’m skating properly haha. Thank you so much for the video!

Hey Josh, glad to see another video from the BOSS! Are those a different pair of Aeon 60's? What happen to the black ones?

Thanks for the content

I’m really struggling with “kinked” rails that I find at skateparks. I can grind straight rails, but as soon as the rail becomes angled I can’t keep my balance. Especially when my lead foot is on the angle and my rear foot is still on the flat.

5 stars tips!!

man I didn't know about the switch forward stance ill try it out now

YES BRO!

Thanks

I was having trouble doing royales on my Aeon's until I saw how you used your arms and tilted your body forward to get a deeper lock on the dominant foot.

The amount of bladers coming back blows my mind! Makes me wanna upgrade the old Don Bambricks!;)

on tip No.3...."the hands bizarre thing" ....when i used to do unity grinds (over 20+ tears ago)...i used to unconsciously do the "om budda gesture with my fingers".....and there is no emoticons on youtube text to explain that.

not an aggressive skater but definitely saving this video for when i try it

Time to relearn the 3 grinds I know! Hahaha. Btw gave you a shoutout on my video :)

Hi mate, make a video of how to fall, roll, don't use knees to absorb the impact, something like that, with and without protection (knee, elbow pads), how to avoid the most to be injured

Should you try to jump above the obstacle, then lock down, for soul tricks as well as top sides?

I wish I had KZfaq when I was blading as a kid in the 90s. I gave up because I could never figure out how to grind

I don't know how to feel about the whole arms thing, I grew up in park skiing culture, and at the time the trend was to pretty much keep your arms relaxed and your hands low throughout the whole grind. I've adapted that into my inline skating and even though I do use my hands to get upwards momentum when I jump, I keep em down during the actual grind. I'm not sure if I'm holding myself back or not.

The most jacked blader!!!

Loved your tips! Great video! Im having trouble to looking good while skating. When I blade, I look like im only 2 weeks on skates even tho Ive been blading for over 4 years now in total. Instead of stylish smooth movements, I am wobbling all over the place and looking very goofy. Compared to my friends who skate much smoother I look absurd :(. Any tips on how to make myself better with movements/looking good?

can you do a video on gaps?

What foot should be in the back? The dominant foot or the less dominant foot?

Suuuuper

I learned to soul grind with my right foot so i learned to royale that way too but i find very hard to do back royale or top sides this way for some reason doing them switch feels easier. Why is that? Should i just switch completely to the left foot?

@Acosta Blades How long have you been skating?

Her is a good one when u are the black sheep in the sk8park after 10 years i starp my weels on an i was the only blader in the park it also makes me think ware are all the bladers when the skates are sold out ???

I can’t grind but I want to learn. I’m considering getting Aeon 80s, because I’m a free/urban skater anyway and I think these would be very cool! Or should I get a simple set of Aggressives to learn on?

That first tip broke my mind somehow! Its so obvious yet its not

🏋🏾‍♀️🔥

what skates does he use?

!!!PLIZ ANSWER THAT QUESTION!!!Are grinds only for skate park or you can also use them on the road???

This man on skate on the left 6:21 xD

Sucks cause my shoulder is separated and when I skate I try n throw my arms up but I'm worried my arm will pop out smh really bringing my confidence down

Goose Gosich

when the camera panned down and i saw blades my mind was so confused lmao. still interesting vid tho

Jokes on you my skating is mediocrely mediocre, making it terrible beyond help!Good video tho. Really just leaving a comment to help ya out :D

I tried skating switch forward, I failed. Guess it's back to skating forward now :)

Que truco es el del minuto 4:40

6:20 haha watch the back left

just like an eagle, right?

Why you do one foot first and then the other 4:17

This park is weirdly close to the road
