Locked and loaded, I stumbled upon this quick and insanely satisfying clip of Noah Nayef hitting us with a dictionary-defined backside Smith grind (Monty grind for those of you keeping score — s/o Monty Nolder) painting a perfect U-shape from coast to coast.
The second he locks in it seems to be smooth sailing, and what a beautiful trick to take to this specific spot. As you can see in this clip, Noah is one of those guys who skates with raw power and a touch of finesse—a perfect match in the world of skateboarding.

Nick Boserio jumps into frame post-Noah's switch heel encore, giving him some well-deserved props after this beauty of a grind. Respected videographer, Chris Middlebrook is behind the lens on this one and graciously shared the clip on IG for us all to gawk over.
There's certainly no shortage of fire emojis burning in the comments of the post, alongside the expected praise and props that deservingly come with a gem like this. Noah has been killing it with the April Skateboards squad as of late, smashing it in the streets as usual and steadily stacking clips.
His April part that dropped last year in November was an instant banger—pure, raw power from beginning to end—and we're always stoked to see more Noah footy. Give him a follow for more of that heavy street skating flavor that Noah delivers...and in the meantime, turn up your volume and keep this clip on loop.
