Hey guys I have a major problem with grind boxes 30cm and over. The problem is I can't jump into any grind properly I can jump high enough flat but when it's into a grind on a box I can't really do it!!! I hop and I land on it in like a willy grind but I don't slide coz of the energy I use to jump on to it.
Help me

You gotta get better at your ollies, and aim that shit. Get your back dropout onto the ledge, get it really solid on small stuff then work your way up.

the deck doesnt really make that much of a difference. i learned to grind on an old stock a model.
keep practicing. once you get a small ledge on lock, try finding a ledge slightly bigger.

I do have smaller ledges on lock like I don't know how tall, like 15 to 20cm. Also how do you hop out of grinds like when I hop out it has to be when I'm not sliding anymore and I just can't hop out when still sliding???

try leaning forward if you keep slipping out when you try getting out of the grind.

Thanks but it's not so much the fact that I slip out but it's that I just can't hop pou of grinds while still sliding I just can't hop out... Like you know how you just can't do something and you don't know why...

the answer to every question in this thread is practice more. i know that's not what you want to hear, because i've made threads like this in the past too. but trust me, it does a lot more good to go out and practice than it does to post in here.

Are you a little kid? Maybe you just aren't ready. I used to think tailwhips were impossible when i was like 8 or 9. Then i picked up a scooter when i was 15 and magically could do them without any practice.
