This photo was taken by Jordan Frizzell 6 years ago at white benches in edmonton.

The first time i skated white benches i watched in awe as Ben Couves casually did smith grinds on the benches.
That was in 1990!
After that image was burnt into my mind i just wanted to learn smith grinds so bad!
Iv'e been doing them now for 20+ years and either frontside or backside, ledge or transition there one of the best tricks out there.
I would like to dedicate this one to Ben Couves for the smith stoke!
