Fishbrains are one of my favorite tricks and I’ve been asked how do I do them. Basically, this is how to do a fishbrain: 1. Your Approach.
When approaching the object, try to stay parallel to it. Don’t skate right next to it, leave a little room for you to get your leg up for the grind.
2. Locking it in.
You want to try to jump with both feet at one time. When doing this grind, I sweep my fishbraining skate underneath of me and can now lock it in about 99% of the time perfectly. It takes practice to get the lock-in down, but once you get it you won’t loose it.

3. Riding it out.
Grabbing your other skate adds style to the grind, so if you can, grab your non grinding skate. Keeping your balance is not that difficult. Stay low on the grind and you’ll be fine.

4. Getting ready to get off.
You see the end of your obstacle and you start to get ready to get off of it. Start to rise off the grind a little bit so you can push off of the obstacle to land at the end.

5. Getting off.
Using your fishbraining foot, push off of the obstacle for your landing. If you didn’t rise on the grind a little bit, chances are you’re just going to ride off of the grind which can look a little sloppy.

6. Land it.
Stick the trick. Land it, call it a day, grab a burger and go home.
