keep putting foot down when grinding

[Brockerboy]

hey i need help... i cant grind :/ every time i hop on the rail i put my foot down on the ground, i dont know why but i just do.. can someone help me

its probably your natural instinct because you feel yourself falling, most likely backwards. lean forward more and you wont slide out

Balance.

Ride with your feet all the way on your scooter and make it a point not to have any of your foot hanging off. Also, lean forward more, like a ton.

Listen to tyler, i learned my grinds with part of my foot off, now when i do boardslides and hurricanes i have nasty heeldrag.

lean forward a little more

just tell yourself to keep it on no matter what. use as much heeldrag as you want until uve got it on lock

thanks guys, ill lean foward more and ride with my feet on the deck and try really hard to keep them on

i appreciate all the help

sorry, just realised this was about rail grinding. well practice by just grinding on the end of the rail like jump when ur near the end so u only just skim it. keep going further and further back till u got it properly

 

[Brockerboy]

what grinding did you think it was? haha

 

[DavidBryson]

i was thinking ledge or box lol
EDIT: cos i always used to put my foot down on ledges
