The Makio is the first trick I mastered, and is basically my safety trick. After learning this I found the other basic soul tricks easier to learn just by placing the other foot down in the middle of the grind slowly and eventually just jumping straight into other soul grinds. Kinda like stepping into the grind but instead I was doing a Makio to another. Glad to see you covered this trick!

I watched your tutorial for 2 days straight and practiced the jump without the step up and I got it today. Thanks so much!!!

I prefer freestyle makio over the grabs. Plus it helps me with a 180. It was my first combo trick. I felt like Beat from JSRF.

I think it could be my first switch trick. You are a great teacher mate. Your videos explain the most important aspects in an easy-to-understand way. Thank you!

Man, your videos are so much better than ones with tons more views. Direct and clear. Thanks!

Makio is underrated. Sure it's one of the easiest tricks to learn, but it's also a great setup, or or link in trick for switch-ups... Also, it's one of those grinds where people can put their own style and flavor into it, whereas almost all acid grinds look the same.

You have a talent for clearly bringing something as complicated as motion sequences to words. Ur you just put in a lot of time into it. Either way thanks :)!

"how to Makio: step 1: do a Makio "

I want you to say that you varry great and thanks about your videos i tunrn back on my skates after 24 years so thank you for the videos thats helps me a lot A lot of greating from Italy

Glad I watched this video before skating got my makio down now even got a grabs involved. Big ups!

I don't know about the switch this month, but I've been looking forward to learn the makio, and your tutorials have proven to be my go to lately. I'll let you know if I take my aggressives out and try. Thanks as always for your effort on sharing with us all 😃

Thanks!!!! I hope I can do it for the backtoblading Challenge

There is also what I was taught (how it looks, still too scared to do it) a "Lazy Makio", it's done on a rail and you cross your non-soul leg over in the front and on the opposite side of the rail that you're grinding. It's freaky to think about cause if you miss the soul foot you're getting pretty tangled up...

I think doing a 180 jump while Makio grinding but then keep on grinding backwards with the same foot would be such a dope trick.

I never knew you had to grab your foot while doing it, that could be why I haven't been able to do it for all those years 😅

Sick! BiBs hit it mad steezy!!!!!

Thank you for your help!

I sprained both my wrists trying to learn to Makio😅 need to back to trying

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Do You know how it's called the makio grabbing the boot the same way that the mute grab?

I am seeing Stephen curry in you 😂
