On fishbrains
This fucking trick is soooo harddd fuuhhh.
No but seriously I can lock and slide them just fine but I never feel the fluid motion that I strive for in my skating. How does one do them effortlessly and roll away fakie all clean like? Don't tell me to fucking practice because I do that shit everyday. I need some technique advice.
Thanks guys.

whatever foot you do the trick on, dip that shoulder down. think sagona.
it's scary though, full commitment…and the sweep outs are devastating. few things compare to lacing a perfect fishy though.
hmmm, this changes the game. Will do later tonight when I skate.Originally Posted by tonyrivituso

Get better at all of your topside tricks. Especially top p-star, and topacid 180 outs.
Ska boom, top acids are the key!
homie I got dark TTAs.

there are 3 ways to do it.
approach it like a sweat stance but don't put the back foot down.
approach it like a top acid and don't put the foot down.
get as low as possible jump grab your foot and trust yourself.
oh and wax.
tell yourself its just a makio
learn the grab skating transition...
Their less scary to try than topsides because I feel I can get a foot down in time if I miss(not on rails though)
slap that foot down and straddle over the rail/ledge like riding a don-kay.

see how my body is centered right over the grinding edge yet the feet and legs have been bent like softened bamboo...pretty much what tony said though...pretend you are sagona and it'll happen. oh and nice meeting ya tonyrivituso at OB skatepark couple weeks ago. too bad your ribs were smash.
you're not grabbing it. I want to grab like farmer. Notice how his grabbed foot is in front of the other. That shit ain't easy.
edit: just realized that's switch and regular... LOL

lock with your foot on the side and pull it forward when you want.you're not grabbing it. I want to grab like farmer. Notice how his grabbed foot is in front of the other. That shit ain't easy.

I think the worst thing about fish brains is, when going for the grab, if you aren't leaning far out and you're fully committed. Eating shit often hurts.
not saying I'm a pussy or nothing, but wtf.
My natural fishbrain is right footed, I learned fishbrains with my left foot doing what royalwithcheese said: "learn the grab skating transition...Their less scary to try than topsides because I feel I can get a foot down in time if I miss(not on rails though)"
So you can try this.
3:54 me.
basically what youre going to do is roll parallel to the ledge or rail with enough speed. then you jump and lock your topside foot onto the ledge while grabbing your other foot.
Those fishes with the foot Grabbed in front are easier than fully mounted straddled ones. Just skate more, try harder and it'll happen.
im jelly of that switch fish. one of those tricks i never really had down really good.
but whoever said "think makio" or some shit like that. thats exactly what i did when i was younger to learn fish brains.
