My Flatbar Crooked Grind Story
Good day to all!
The Crooked grind is one of the first trick I learned on a ledge when I was younger.
It is definitely a lot of fun to do once you get the hang of it.
For years I only do this trick on ledges because I was not confident enough and too scared to try it on a flatbar, eventually, after motivation from my friend Danico, I tried it and got past my fear, and here we are.
The funny thing is that somehow I taught Danico how to crooked grind on a ledge, and then he motivated me to try it on a flatbar. It is kind of a full circle scenario.
Here is a photo of me doing a Crooked grind taken at the local skatepark here in Abu Dhabi.
And here is a Photo of my Friend Danico doing crooked grind, and also the day he motivated me to do it!
Also, here is a photo of me on that same day:
I guess if we surround ourselves with positive people who motivates us to do better, we can achieve things we thought we cannot do at first. I think this not just applies in skateboarding but also in life.
Look at what skateboarding teaches us eh?
Cheers,

Awesome Mark!
Crooks are hard to master, it took me a while to do it on boxes and stuff and even longer to do it on rails. Have you been able to get some front side crooked’s? I had a lot of fun doing those! Keep em coming dude!
Skating teaches us a lot of things, particularly discipline is what I think. You can’t rush it otherwise you get hurt and we never wanted to get hurt otherwise you couldn’t skate for a while!
thank you.
I never really practiced BScrooks, I learned it accidentally while trying BSnoseslides, the front truck landed and it just went from there, and now it's the one ledge/flatbar trick I do the most.
No I could not do front crooks, that one is the hard one for me, I just settled for the nosegrinds.
It's true, teaches us a lot, I think the most valuable lesson I learned is patience.
Sick crooks dude.And on a flatbar.
