I have been looking at youtube and trying to find tips and techniques to grind, i still havent found any. can someone please offer some advice on how to… Thanks in advance…
get used to doing rolling side hops, once you’ve got those down just huck it. There really not that hard. I learned in like 20 minutes
There’s a section on unicycletips.com about grinding.
20 minutes on hand rails or on boxes?, b/c i think my next step is grinding too!
and handrails seem very scary!
Yeah I havent nutted up to a handrail yet, mainly cause there usually higher then I can hop, or there just too gnar. But yeah learn on something like a box or a ledge at a skatepark. Once you get used to them there sooo fun, grinding is THE shit.
awesome. i dont think i could jump up to a handrail either.
I wanna grind… But theres nothing to grind on around here
Thats not an excuse, build something:)
try to jump into the ledge and avoid jumping on to the ledge.
into it, not on it.
What could I build to grind on? I cant weld or anything
Grinding is an easy but impressive, and a fullfilling trick. You stilll get the pride of a new trick, and it takes what? an hour to learn on a ledge?
I cant do em all that often, due to the lack of ledges, and the dominance of handrails around where i live.
just approach the ledge at a slight angle, and dont jump up, jump forward - but jump just high enough to make it onto the ledge with your crank, and finish it up. Thats all there really is to ledges. When i learn handrails, I’ll see if ican make a tut.
And NKahler, just find a pipe that someone is throwing out, and find a decently high ledge, and put the pipe from the ledge to the ground. Jump off the ledge onto the pipe, and this should help you with handrails… I wouldn’t know. i cant do them. But grindable ledges are hard to actually make… So just go out and find one. I found a sweet marble one where i live going down a 3 set. It is beyond sweet. But to avoid scratching it up, i have to use plastic pedals…
Anyway, have fun bro. Good luck.
Build a box dude. There sooo easy to make and you can move it just like a rail. If you can’t manage to build one I’m sure your dad or somone you know will. Seriously, there the easiest things to build.
You’ve all inspired me. I going to learn how to grind!!!
Does one grind more on the crank or the pedal?
It’s best to grind on just the pedal, but it’s more difficult to stay balanced. But you slide better.
When i go down a pipe, I use my pedal, and on a ledge, i use my crank… Just the way that things come to me i suppose.
