I Invented a New Skateboarding Trick

I came across this accidental lock-in on a primo grind and that really sent me into my journey for looking if it had been done on a circle rail. So these are all the attempts that I was looking at and I was so amazed I was becoming more inspired as I kept seeing them on handrails and even just a primo 50 that would have been insane. I watched Dan Corrigan's video about a pro trying it the pro tried it on a square rail which is amazing but not what I was looking for made me feel like couldn't anyone has it been done someone sent me this and it was one but it was with the support of a wall then I found one on reddit while this trick I've accidentally did as I watched this clip happen it was such a good primo slide on this wooden surface it wasn't what I was looking for doing a primo grind on a circle rail so I began my journey I should say that I've never done a primo slide or attempted to even learn how to primo anything but I was quickly finding out how difficult it was to try to do it especially with my trucks getting stuck in between the rail when it came to day three I chose to go somewhere else and we're about to just send it on this flat bar is a little more thicker than the one at the skate park so there's no way my wheels will go in let's see what the progress is here for the primo grind day three is where it clicked in my head where a wider rail would work I even felt like I almost landed it just like that last attempt that you see then I came back for day four but I quickly realized that I wasn't in a right place with the way I was skating this spot so after trying it for five minutes I had just decided to leave and go to the skate park ultimately just going 30 minutes at it just to realize that day day five was one of the most important days of this journey because the last one showed that it was possible to slide or grind on the primo day six unfortunately I was desperate and I was in the southern California area where I could not find a little rail and it's insane that I just tried it on this little thing for like 30 40 minutes honestly I just couldn't even deal with the trucks anymore I was just going through it this day day six is one that I won't forget because I really just tried my best to just make the best of everything you know what I mean and I ended up with just this day six was definitely the worst day or not the worst today was just not a good one I couldn't find any flat bars or anything around the Ventura County and this was the closest thing I could try it on the attempts for this day not even good not even worth showing I swear I promise so apologies day six just not that good hopefully day seven would be better hopefully I find a better rail to try the periphteon so yeah let's hope for day seven I had reached out to William Spencer because previously he had dm'd me saying that he had theories on the primo grind and I wanted to hear them out because I was already in the middle of this battle and I needed some sort of direction and he said that riser pads would be helpful and that's what I did I added riser pads day seven turned out to be one of the most important days this was the first time I actually started practicing the caveman to primo although on day five I did try a few but day seven I actually was practicing them consistently trying to get more comfortable and build that confidence to just be able to stand on top of the rail and it was also my first time skating this yellow rail which I think is really important throughout this whole journey as you can see I'm just standing on it getting more comfortable just so I wouldn't be as surprised whenever I flipped into the primo on the rail but after skating this spot for like about an hour I had just decided to move back to the red rail because there was water in the gutter at this spot okay I kept thinking about the the red rail that I went to on day five and I want to go there today this was great great practice I've gone on a few some even went to the other side also was training here for like jumping on and like moving and kicking it back so I want to go see how it feels on the red rail so that's where we're going right now okay we're back to this spot this is where I think I got I got way more runway I'm not constricted the other rail was perfect but I just I feel like I needed runway for what I'm about to do so here we are let's set up what the heck did I do it it was so fast yo that was so fast listen we're gonna play the footage back and we're gonna look at it once I saw the replay I knew that this wasn't the one but it definitely solidified that I was getting closer we're done at this rail we might go to the yellow one one more time we're back at the yellow rail let's get this right now this would be a reoccurring theme where no matter how tired I was I would just continue to push myself until I literally couldn't continue to move and just be exhausted this is day seven with my shoe the end of end results the shoe has been destroyed moving on to day eight and forward I started live streaming every session because my phone storage started to get full and I needed another way to capture everything so my discord server was a huge help want to say thank you to Billy and Dwindle they really helped me out during this whole process uh if you want to join the discord server at the description we'll have the link to it we're about to do it today is day eight primo grinding or sliding on a rail I was able to find a rail out in Ventura but a lot of cars were parking here so I had to move forward to day nine went back to the yellow rail and let's just say it I was just losing it already because primo on a rail is just so hard you know what I mean but then this happened Rodney Mullen I have no idea how I was invited to this event and I was able to talk to him he said try front side and what did I do I didn't listen stubborn as I was being I just wanted to do it my way and honestly it was getting so hard I did try heel flip a few times but I lost my heel flips during this journey because all I was doing was skating these rails doing kickflip so the muscle memory wasn't there and even with kickflip sometimes I was having trouble with it uh I started feeling a little bit discouraged honestly throughout this whole battle day in day out it was wild yesterday we were getting pretty close but we know how that went I really started just questioning myself like why am I doing this like I just started reading comments is like it's not possible because I was updating social media with like clips and whatnot there's a lot of hurt feelings when nobody believes in you but then somebody said get Johnny Geiger on the phone and I did that Johnny already knew what I wanted to talk about and honestly his advice was very scary go straight at the rail so I pursued my own wake as usual and I still continued to have a troubling time and it led me to just losing my mind why was this beat on day 15 I landed two of them and they weren't completely on top of the rail It just felt like I slightly was already following the board rounding off the rail and I'll just say I started feeling a lot more confident. It started building me up. You can see that I landed on day 16 17 and Then on day 18, I just felt like this was gonna be good I went to the yellow rail didn't feel it. I went to a blue rail a new rail I wasn't feeling it there either because of the way I had to skate it and then I went to this green rail This was the first time I skated this spot, which would be really important moving on forward and then day 19. I finally was taking Rodney's advice a little more serious and playing around with different tricks frontside because frontside was a bit easier to see where I'm going see everything and I played with very a lot and I just couldn't continue the session. My phone had died. So I had to call it I was also already losing it as you can see me thinking about day 19 just mentally I was like what the hell day 19. That's how far we are then day 20 I went to my local just because I wanted to skate around here and there Ultimately that was a close that had gotten day 21. I went to cast egg not a good session day 22 I went to Westlake skatepark and I pulled out my rail tried to get it and it just Wasn't working. My board was going in between the rails wasn't helping at all and I felt like I was making progress, but honestly for this trick I shouldn't have been trying to try it on such a crazy obstacle, especially if I hadn't landed one yet So we went to day 24 back to the green rail where I did a kickflip one quick and started doing burial and bro I was actually doing them This place was good because my phone wasn't overheating, but I did twist my ankle in the session This took me out for a good week. It sucked. Honestly, I couldn't walk after that day But I twisted my ankle again not so bad just a light roll on Day 25 early in the session. I'm talking about like five minutes in and I was feeling defeated already. I Don't know how I summon the courage to kind of just push through it My gosh, bro, dude, hold on I gotta show you this angle. Hold on. Hold on Let me do this, oh my As soon as I did this I instantly knew that it was it and It's not to say that it's the prettiest or anything it's just showing that it's possible I know it could be longer. We know that now because we know that it's possible to land it and Even after day 25, I could I'm gonna continue you're seeing day 26. I'm Continuing to see if I can push the limits and do a better one Thank you to anybody that had stopped by through any of these live streams I feel like even though I was alone like right there at the spot when I was streaming it There was so many people encouraging me even on the days that I didn't land it. They were saying this is the day This is the one and honestly all that really made the difference and I just want to say Thank you so much for that support because without those little just moments of encouragement Who knows if I would have just ended my session earlier because there were times that I pushed my self even more Especially after I was mentally thinking it's done But make sure you subscribe and make sure you follow my streaming platforms to see what's next Thank you for watching and sorry now until next time
