2. This trick starts in the approaching the rail or ledge you wish to grind. Since you’re going to be doing this frontside, you’ll be riding with the front of your body facing the rail. Also, you’ll find it best to approach the rail with a slight angle. Find the best slight angle to approach it to get over the rail, after that figure out how much speed is needed.
3. Be about two feet from rail or ledge to pop your ollie and move over the rail. Bend your knees and pop your tail. Land with both trucks evenly on the object. Try and land with your feet still in the ollie position so that it is easier to pop off. Keep balanced as you ride out the grind.
4. When you want to get off, you can do one of two things. You can either lift your nose slightly and pivot off, or you can ollie off. You should definitely learn the pivot off first before trying the ollie off.
