Shown for a regular-footed rider. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.

How it works

A rear-truck stall in which the front of the board tips over the coping so the nose points down the deck side, toe rail resting against the lip - the stalled cousin of the feeble grind. The lock is what makes it: the back hanger takes the weight while the front third of the deck leans over the far side of the coping, giving a distinctive jack-knifed silhouette. The exit demands lifting the nose back over the coping before pivoting in, which is where most attempts hang up.

Step by step

  1. Approach with a backside angle as for an axle stall.
  2. Pivot the rear truck onto the coping, but instead of leveling the deck, push the nose down over the far side of the lip.
  3. Let the deck's toe-side rail rest against the coping, back truck carrying your weight.
  4. Balance in the feeble lock, front foot pressing the tipped nose gently.
  5. Draw the nose up and back over the coping, pivot on the rear truck, and drop back into the transition.

Body mechanics

Front footPresses the nose down into the feeble lock, then pulls it back over the coping to exit.
Back footOn the tail, weight over the rear axle - the only load-bearing contact.
ShouldersTurned to face the deck side slightly more than in an axle stall, matching the tipped board.
ArmsLeading arm out over the ramp as a counterweight against the nose-over lean.
GazeAt the coping and nose through the lock; shift to the transition as you lift out.
