"It's the little things that make a big difference."
I've been talking about making this fishbrain video for years. There's so many different elements to this trick that make it hard to perfect, but they're unsung.
A proper fishbrain is something we take for granted.
It's the go-to trick for almost every photo.
It's more complicated than it looks.
I discuss it in the video, so I won't rant about it here, but with every fishbrain there's at least 8-10 different movements that have to go right for it to work out.
I did forget to bring up not to hang your non-grinding foot below the ledge.
I'm bummed about that.
Big thank you to Anthony Medina for helping me out.
As I mentioned in the video, you need to be able to do most of the basic forwards soul tricks before learning this.
I would also learn an easier topside trick before fishbrain.
I'll link the topsoul how-to here:
