Trick Tip | Backside Smith Grinds With Matt Fisher

August 13, 2013

The backside Smith grind. It's one of the best looking and best feeling tricks there is. Ask virtually any pro or am about this one and they'll tell you a toe-ed out backsmith on a rail or a ramp is one of their favorite feelings in the world. This one is all about finding the pocket and leaning back. Once you're in, you're in, but finding that sweet spot can be a little tricky. Just like learning anything new, the key is practice, practice and more practice. Watch CCS Am Project rider Matt Fisher in this clip and take the back smith to your local park to lock it in.
