How to learn it

  1. Approach

    Roll straight at a low, waxed ledge.

  2. Spot

    Jump a little higher than the ledge so you see your feet.

  3. Lock

    Land the soul plate flat, front skate in its H-block.

    CueBoth together
  4. Sit

    Put your weight on the soul skate and get low.

    CueWeight on the soul
  5. Out

    Ride to the end and roll away.

Why it isn't working

  1. IfStepping on, back skate first.
    ThenJump and land both skates together; stepping on fails on real ledges.
  2. IfSoul skate turning across the ledge.
    ThenKeep it along the ledge, soul plate flat on the edge, wheels off the side.
  3. IfWeight on the front skate.
    ThenSit on the soul skate; it carries the grind.
  4. IfStanding tall.
    ThenBend low over the soul skate for balance.

Why it's Easy: Amateur because it is the second fundamental grind and very stable once locked. Landing both skates together is the hard bit at first.
