Slappys are a great beginner grind that doesn't require an ollie. You skate fast straight or at a slight angle towards a curb and turn hard while leaning back a bit, 'slapping' the board onto the curb and locking in the trucks to grind along it. Ideally, you use a low painted curb. The best ones are the low yellow or red ones that have an actual metal cap...so much slappy happy fun. [VIDEO]
More like a lazy man's nose slide. I always thought slappies were grinds. [VIDEO]
