Like most of the basic tricks, the feeble grind can become an advanced move over time. It’s a versatile trick that can be taken to rails and ledges down stairs and also become a part of countless grind combos. Let’s learn how to feeble.
Tip: Use the left / right arrow keys
01
Approach the ledge a little quicker than walking pace. You need to be hitting the ledge at a slight angle, not exactly parallel. Not too much though, it'll be harder to balance in grind if you land on the edge at a steep angle. Start the hop the same as normal.
02
You want to be aiming your front wheel towards the top of the ledge but this time you don’t need to tuck up as much in the hop. The slight angle you’ve approached the ledge will mean your front wheel will go over the top of the ledge, whilst your back end will meet up with the edge you’re going to grind.
03
The front wheel should land just before the back peg. If you’ve aimed right with the front wheel, let’s say three to four inches in from the edge of the ledge, the back peg should meet up with the coping relatively smoothly. You don’t need to slam the back end into this, try and keep it a smooth action.
04
As you land in the grind, compress into it a little to absorb the impact and help keep your centre of gravity low.
