I need tips for grinding

[Skusteek911]

I need a few tips for feeble grinding.
First, I always have a problem when grinding on a surface slicker than a curb with wax. When sliding on a slicker surface, I always wipe out because my deck would suddenly slide like how it would slide if you do a boardslide and tilt back too much.

Second, what kind of wax should I buy for curb grinding? Every time I make wax, by the time I have put about a foot of wax on the curb, I have already applied 3/4 of my wax on the curb. I need some wax that's not soft to the point where there's just additional unneeded wax on the curb.

Thanks.

lean forward and make sure the bottom of your deck is flat on the ledge, not sliding on just the back edge of your deck. keep your back wheel against the ledge.

buy some wax at a skateshop, it's not that expensive

Get wax and melt it onto your deck with a lighter near the edges of your deck

edit: also if youre just starting out, maybe try grinding something other than a concrete curb unless its really smooth. you cant grind super far and it tends to tear up your deck

Don't put your heals on the rail. flow with the rail and be ready to fall. it happens! GOOD LUCK!
