Im new at agressive inline and everytime I go to frontside grind i hit my h blocks perfect but then my feet fly out from under me and I fall backwards onto my butt. I think my feet are too close together but i think maybe theres something else wrong. I can skate good and also do stalls decently. Also should you be able to curb grind before rails. and at which point could you do grinds in your inline career.
How do you frontside grind a rail on inline agressive skates.?
%26quot;There%26#039;s a lot of different types of grinds out there. Probably the easiest to start out with is the frontside. Before we get to that, let%26#039;s go over what you%26#039;re going to be grinding. Skates don%26#039;t slide on just anything. On metal surfaces, you don%26#039;t have a problem, but if you%26#039;re planning on grinding curbs and concrete ledges, you%26#039;ll need to wax them up. If you%26#039;ve got experience with skateboarding, as you seem to imply in your message, than you know all about this. You need to get a layer of wax over the concrete to enable sliding over it. You can buy expensive skate waxes at skate shops or through mail order catalogs, but it%26#039;s easier than that. Parrafin wax, if you can find it at your local supermarket, works great, and you can use what I use - a candle.
Now that that%26#039;s covered, the frontside. A frontside grind is the name given to the grind where you are between the middle wheels on both skates. Skate up to the rail (or whatever you%26#039;re grinding, we%26#039;ll just say rail) at a moderate speed, probably on the right side (this is the way that%26#039;s comfortable for most people, you might be backwards like me), then jump up, turn 90 degrees to your left and land on the rail between your middle wheels. Keep your feet at least shoulder width apart, and keep your weight centered over the rail. There%26#039;s a lot of other grinds out there. It would take me too long to explain them all here. Go to www.aggressive.com for a full list and explanation.
That should help you out for now.%26quot;
