Feeble Grinds on Ledges

Feeble grinds are a rail trick. Feeble grinds are a ramp trick. Feeble grinds are not a ledge trick, and when people insist on making them one, the results are usually disappointing. Here are some rare examples of feeble grinds on ledges done well.

Note: We only covered the backside version of the trick for this piece.

1. Anthony Van Engelen - Propeller, 2015
It says a lot that this was a stand-out trick (even inspiring a meme on the Slap message boards) in the hammer fest that is AVE's Propeller part. The effortless style seen in this example is usually reserved for curbs and ankle-height skatepark rails.

2. Jason Adams - Label Kills, 2001
We were never 'hesh' kids, but the VP favorite video Man Down! tuned us in to the shredding of Jason Adams. This example from Label Kills! was one of the first we thought of.

3. Jamiel Nowpavar - 411 #66, 3rd Lair Spot Check, 2004
This was the first clip in a section that gave our local park the star treatment in 411. Jamiel has always had a badass feeble on flatbars, but it got taken to another level when he started doing lengthy ones on ledges like this one. Side note: Whatever happened to Wyatt James?

4. Mark Gonzales - Video Days, 1991
So this is actually a switch frontside 180 feeble to fakie, and we're not actually sure that this is a ledge (1991 video quality), but this is everything a feeble on a ledge should be – it's fully locked in, it's held for a significant length, and it's properly angled over the object it's being done on. Plus, it's Gonz.

5. Jason Dill - Mindfield, 2007
Dill has a couple exemplary ledge feebles in his Mindfield part, but the way he sits on it (plus the weird cow/dog thing behind him) made this one our choice.

6. Brady Albright - Clean, 2017
This spot kind of sucks, so right away we're impressed. Also, this one is reminiscent of a classic feeble to fakie on a quarterpipe.

7. Mark Humienik - Instagram clip, 2017
This showed up on Instagram the other day, and we knew right away it had to make its way into our list(icle). This guy clearly gets how to do these on ledges.

8. Aaron Christensen - Debri2, 2015
Note the little bonk his back truck does on the pop out. Wow.

9. Bert Wooton - Rat Poison, 2017
This is probably the longest held ledge feeble we've seen. It's also quite impressive how his wheel appears to be fully dug in to his board during the grind.

10. Mike Carroll - Yeah Right!, 2003
How do you choose a feeble from Carroll? This one is as textbook of an example as it there is – it's balanced on the back truck and the middle of the board nice and evenly, and it's done with plenty of speed and extra smoothly. We get it, you own this trick.
