Frontside slash grind

Frontside slash grind

That was a pretty exciting morning: first time I got the back truck all the way up to slash or grind over the coping on a frontside kickturn.

Gnarly shit!

In the back of my mind there's always the fear of slipping over the coping and landing back first in the flat. Sure, it's a small bowl, only 1m deep, but still, who wants to go 1m down and land tailbone-first on concrete?

I'm not 100% sure if that actually counts as a slash grind, but I'll take it. I'm thrilled about the metal-on-metal scratch that I could hear for a brief moment!
