Yeah put a peg on commit and lean into it not away or you'll just slip off, but after you've got them nice take your peg off

You don't need pegs but they help immensely.

Lean toward the grind box, it'll help keep you on. and keep you fork as close to the ledge/box as possible. Slimmer forks like Proto forks make them easier, too.

The wider deck, the easier. I have a 4.5 Penis Lucky and its just like riding with pegs, except without the pegs, so no toothpicks or anything.

i was trying them yesterday, but i slip right off, do i need pegs?

btw, my deck has 3 degrees of concave

concave has nothing to do with grinds

i got the district v2 though.. should i drag my heel?

you should never drag your heels for any grind, especially not for smiths because it would cause your heel be pushing forward, not draggin behind. think about it.

I do, but i slide off right when i hit it, should i drag my heel ir get pegs?

you can get pegs if you're having trouble with grinds. don't drag your heels.

only heel drag on fronside feebles and bluntslides, otherwise their ugly

you can't drag heels for frontside feebles, you are thinking about backside feebles.

arent u the grind king?

^^^ This??? Jesus...
