[m3lvin90]

im stuck on the soul grind.. i can royale, backside, and neighborhood.

try a mizou,

some people learn mizous first over soul grinds, its all preference on teaching yourself

and if you really wanna land a soul, just stall on whatever your trying to grind first, and once you get it good, try getting speed and sliding the stall

[Richard_Gaston]

yeah, just stall it first and dont step up on it; jump on with both feet at once.

[m3lvin90]

thanxz guys ill try it

[rollaboyalpha]

And don't just stall it once and then expect to land it. Stall it a few times to get used to the motion and the feeling of it. Then go for it.

[Richard_Gaston]

reward yourself with a treat too, works for my dog.. so i figure it couldnt hurt for me or any other people too

heres my advice http://themrollers.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=2

dont feel like typing it all again, but yea soul grind is one of my favorite grinds for testing out objects.

[booner]

yea man, jsut stall it a good few times right, and get the fell for it till you can stall and get on top of the rail, then jsut get little bits of speed and try, then when you get it better, jsut go faster and faster. the soul is also my safety grind, but i'm pretty damn shit for my amount of skating but then again i dont try cause of no otehr bladers, but lately i've been trying real ahrd on my prail and i've been gettin the soul 360's good. jsut takes practise, dont give up after a few tries.(edit) holy shit haha i didn't knwo i still had a sig on here, my skates are trashed now

whats a neighborhood

[rollaboyalpha]

If I'm not mistaken it's where your front foot is in a farv and your back foot is in royale. Your frames are close to each other and your legs are curving outward.

[solo4200]

I'm a bit old school here, but what is a farv?

-solo

[rollaboyalpha]

Like a royale except turned around. Instead of flexing your skates back you torque them both forward.

[Mike87055]

just jump on the rail in a makio then put your front foot on then u have a sole

[kyleptothez123]

farv. a.k.a. torque

[Mike87055]

why is it called a farv cuz thats a stupid name

[kyleptothez123]

cuz it was originally called like a favernugen or something like that and it means pure pleasure or something in german. but thats too hard to say so peeps either call it a farv or a torque :-D

[K2SkaterForLife]

okay now with these diagrams... the way it says the Left is on the soulplate and the right is on the h-block... does it matter which foot that is? because a lot of times ill switch em and have my right on the soulplate and my left on the hblock

[kyleptothez123]

it doesnt matter, its still a soul grind, the other way is just switch

[K2SkaterForLife]

okay i wasnt sure but i figured it wouldnt matter

[rollaboyalpha]

No damnit, farv and torque are two different tricks. Farvergnugen (does anybody know how to really spell it? I don't) means you have both feet on, but a torque is just your front foot. Some old school people still call farvs "full torque" but whatever.

Mike- The name doesn't really matter. Get over it.

[razor_sk8r]

lol ya, farv's and torque's r completely diferent like rollaboy said and i dont know how to spell the real farvergnuyen or w/e lol

[2good4_8wheels]

Why not just call it a 'coyboy stance'... YEEEEEHAAAAAA!!!!!

[rollaboyalpha]

Cuz that's retarted and it already has a name, now go fall down a 12-stair.

[razor_sk8r]

lol, little harsh there rollaboy? :-P

[2good4_8wheels]

Damn... ^^
