B/S Crooked Grind

This trick looks pretty hard if don't know what it is but if you know that's it is b/s that makes a lot harder looking but if you know how to nose grind then this is no problem.

This is an awesome grind! It's hardcore too. You should know how to nose grind. Come up to your target (it should be a ledge type rather then pipe type) like a nose slide (board's length away) and start turning into it and you should be about 45 to your target and Ollie up and try to land on a nose grind. When you try to land on a nose grind you land on a b/s crooked and grind. I don't know how to come off all that well but you can end by doing a 50-50 and Ollie 180 off or just Ollie off. Like all grinds you should be going fast (fast enough to grind). Try not to over Ollie your target just try get about 3 cm higher then it and then land on a nose grind. That way the landing on your target is easier and keeps your balance. For this trick your don't need to Ollie backward, you turn into it and Ollie and you should try to land on a nose grind and you should land on a crooked grind. I know how weird it sounds but that's all it is. TIP: If you don't want to fracture your foot on this like I did then actually try to get off. I went to the end of it and fell off the grind and landed on the side of my foot and fractured it! So don't do that!!! If you have any question please e-mail me and I will hopefully give you some good advice!!
GOOD LUCK (and don't fracture your foot)!

Well what you want to do is go at a good speed you
feel comfortable with and out your front foot at a
slight angle your toes pointed up to the right of your
board like a Varial but not that much then your back
foot should be placed to a point as an Ollie then go
at the rail or box at a crooked angle then pop the
board and when the front trucks go over the rail or
box push down on the front position your weight on the
trucks and on the nose of the board then start sliding

and when the end comes up pop a little Nollie and come
out push up the back of the board and roll away.

Good Luck!
