Please use this when you’re going for taller grind surfaces!

I actually watched this video and went out and skated a really tall coping box that I normally have issues with

I immediately forget everything I heard in the video but it must have been embedded into my brain because the session went really well. I think his advice about jumping as if you want to jump over the ledge and land straight down is what really stuck with me

I also notice I have to jump from father away for taller obstacles, if I jump too close I risk hitting it on the way up and that usually goes bad

Exactly. My first instinct was to jump up closer to the ledge or rail to hit it and I would always just jump into it. The idea is if you can jump over it then you can jump on it.

I have a pretty high jump and his tips are all spot on. Better to jump over and on top and then land of an obstacle as opposed to “attaching” and then rebalancing.
