Grinding at a angle?

[ryanlikespogo]

When you grind down a hubba how is it different to grinding on a flat ledge.
Is it harder?

Thanks,
Ryan

Obviously going to be a bit harder, Just commit stick it and keep your balance is all I can say.

Hubbas aren't as hard as they seem, but you're going to get messed up if you don't commit. Take a run up or two your first time, and go for it when you're feeling it. They're pretty easy as long as you fully commit.

All you do on hubbas that is different is you lean forward a little more.\
And dont try to go at them fast because you do not need a lot of speed if its really slopped.

you'll just be going faster.

^yup unless u heel drag, then the friction slows u down to a safe pussyfooting speed

not calling Rob out or anything just saying haha

hubbas are easier

 

[ryanlikespogo]

why?

 

[Hep Greg]

just go to a skatepark with a hubba and learn to ride them there before you try a stret one. and dont put mad wax on a hubba, you'll get wrecked.

I'd say if you want to know if grinding hubba is easier or not go try it.

An easy way to first do them is to hop onto them as if you were hopping onto a flat box to grind, but stick your heels out a bunch so that you barely move once your on. Then lean forward a little to see where your balance needs to be at and slide down it. Then do it for real.

what brandon said. or just climb up and slide down the main thing is find your balance point

Just stay forward a bit, heels are not necessary.

Shit son, I tried seshing a legit hubba today and not some baby shit at my local and it was scary. I couldn't even bring myself to try anything, mainly because the ledge was only four inches wide, but it was just really steep and really gnarly.
Sorryz bout tha double postee

There's a pretty extreme hubba at my local. Its like a 2.5' hop give or take a few inches, and it's pretty darn steep.

just jump farther so you dont have to jump as high if you know what i mean.
It shoudnt be hard.
