[rapzilla223]

i just recently got serious about scootering and i can tailwhip already and 180 whip but i have trouble grinding rails, expecially circle ones, i always slip back, any pointers??

leaning forward when do rails help...try to keep the rail in the middle of your deck and try not to drag your feet while doing them either, it makes it look extremely sloppy

If your doing a ledge or curb make sure;

1. Your weel is pointing fowrd (i.e. the direction you are going)
2. Feebles are easyer, So put your frount weel on the ledge and you back weel off it and sort of "Locked in" (Touching the ledge I guess)
3. Distribute your body weight evenly
4. This kinda helps some people but for others it doesent; Dont "Slam" down on the grind.
5. Make sure its waxed!!!

Thats about all I can think of for ledges.... Dont ask me about rails though, I can barely grind the ends of them hahahaha!

for me rails (especially round ones) o like to put the rail closer to the mech right under my front foot. i like to put most of my weight under my front foot and just use the back one for balancing

I just learned to grind them like 3 days ago, the best advice is to get on top of it and lean forward if it's a rail going down something.
