FS SMITH GRINDS. THE TRICK TO THE TRICK 

I've been skateboarding for 22 years. I've seen a LOT of trick tip videos. Dan's trick tips are by far the best I've ever seen. This ain't your "approach the ledge with speed, ollie, turn, slide, and role away clean". Dan's trick tips are full of information. He covers every aspect of a trick. For instance in this video where Dan says a smith is like 5050ing a sticky rail. Or how your bails are suppose to look, I've never heard anyone mention how a bail is suppose to look! Anyway thank you Keen Ramps and thank you Dan!

That hat looks🔥

This video really helped me learn how to smith, I’ve been getting into them for months, but I would always immediately dip and bail, you really helped me figure out where my weight should be and I landed my first one today finally

I loved the slow mo and fast mo demonstrations

I've always told people that you should learn to get very consistent 5-0's on ledges as a smith is essentially the same thing with a more squatted stance.

0:49 seconds in and I’m already learning 🤙🏻

Thanks, Dan. Your tips always make sense

2 years later dans still the goat so underrated he really rips hard big ups to Dan keep the positive vibes and grind going 💯🛹

You’re very articulate and explained that well. This helped, always had trouble with this one

Dan is hands down one of the best teachers..! I'mma land this fooooe shooooow!

Best teacher, got some stalls today, thank you Dan!

i like the way you say oawn! like beastie boys mca "mowin down mcs like im mowing the lawn" 'pass the mic by beastie boys' Thanks for the tips will be trying this one!

"i wanna get a wider angle so you can see where my body is" -Dale proceeds to cut off your shoulders in EVERY shot Dude continues to impress me on and off the board

Great tutorial. Well said. Well explained. Hat, shirt color matchies: 100 points.

So glad you made this video! I've been trying to understand how FS smiths work. Also, you helped me fix the way I do kickflips in a past video of yours. THANK YOU

Dan is the Doctor of Skill sets

"It's not a bad idea to find like a good skatepark ledge and just wax the living crap out of it" thanks for the tip dan im going down to my local with my block of wax and make some friends lol. Jokes aside, ive been avoiding smith grinds for far too long good tips

Can you do a trick tip on bs feebles

Excellent account of what to do and what not to do. Thank you sir!

Love when you guys upload

Just the type of tutorial I'm always looking for🔥🔥

Full commitment to leaning back helps me land these first try. Otherwise, I have to kinda play around with being too heavy on my front foot and shift my weight back little by little each attempt. It really IS very much like pushing a 5050 on a sticky ledge. Ollie just like a 5050 and tweaking a little at the last second to get into the smith position. I also feel like fs lipslides are good warm up trick for fs smiths, sometimes vice versa

Buy an obstacle, rail, or an officialy approved Dan Corrigan keen ramps wind breaker.

dan looks cute with that new hat 😻

I never really thought of leaning back like that... I guess it's a similar concept (but the other way round) to a BS Krook

He is such a nice dude! However, it would be nice to see the arms and shoulders too.

Thanks can you do back blunt?

I've been trying smith's for years and never realized that I was putting my weight down wrong til he said if ur falling forward its not it.

I REALLY need to learn these

Once you learn to lock in, funnest go to grind

Thanks for the tips that's like spot-on and you explained it like really really good. 🛹

dan is the coach of skating.

this is awesome! please make one on how you pop out of boardslides on ledges. please please

Don’t forget inverted king pins. Nothing sucks more than king pin snag lol I feel like nollie smith is how I learned it. Puts you in perfect smith position and takes less pop than reg smith

Havent even watched yet,liked🙏🏿

That is a nice ledge

Finally!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I keep getting into losi when I try to smith

Who said I cant frontside smith? Dont take this Seriously I just like his channel

Bro your hat is on Fire

Cheers Dan, top tips Bruv!

This helped man ty. I like the hat and where did you get the Ack ack grip tape? I love that movie.

I subbed cus of dan

Dans only problem is he gives me too much good information and my brain explodes

Can you guys build in an Inground half pipe or obstacle

YES i can only land one after getting stuck on these every sesh

Keen ramp instillations with Dan and Zach dowdy coming soon!!

imagine having a girlfriend who can smith grind

That daledo video makes sense now

Is it bad when during the grind on the side of the board the wood splitters away because that always happens to me?

Great vid

Super late but do you think you need front lip slides first or does it matter?

Nice

I just do I 5 0 but right before I put my weight on the board I tilt my board to the side

how do you pop out of a boardslide mid ledge?

fast looking hats 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks to you, guys :)

How do you still have your hair in this one Daniel corriganial?

thanks

do keen ramps sell polejams?

Shalom

My back foot always moves towards the bolts from the tail after ollieing, can't fix it.

It's hard not to pop out of fs smiths, I even do it every time on ramps lol

i can bs smith but i cant fs smith yet

Good vid bruh

Thanks!

dope hat

broooooooo thank you

BS smiths are Montey Grids👍

Everytime I really try to do this trick I slip out and fall on my tailbone. I rather fall on a rail than take that bail

I only know fast mo! 😁 ❤❤❤

I'm more of a visual learner so guess this ain't the one for me.

fast mo😂😂

first

i can stand on a ledge/box and lean in a smith position. but i cant seem to lock in and slide correctly. i either lean in too forward and stick or lean too back and somesrt of wird 5-0 with an angle outwards from the ledge. any tips? is this like a leapslide going into the trick? how the fuck do you land this??? tahnks in advance to anyone answering! will return the favor on other tricks if needed!!

I only skate fastmo.

How did RU-vid know front smiths were pissing me off lately

dale dont zoom in when he is trying to show his body weight. This is a Tutorial so its better to see the entire body and how he is moving his shoulders and stuff rather than just the foot movement. For a video part i love you filming, but for a Tutorial i like to see the howl thing

"My girlfriend can land smith grinds" marry her mate

Jeans with elastic waist??? Dan sucks at tips, he’s too cocky..... everything’s “easy” and natural. We can’t all be 4 ft tall,

I heard he's gay. That's why he skate's so weird.

Wow cool cap Dan, not
