grind questions
ive returned from the mtb realm for some legit street. anyways i was trying grinds today and i can feeble pretty well, but i can get a simple 50-50 grind... it seems like i either catch the peg on the ledge on the way up, or i get the wheel up on top on accident. any help would be great....

Practice. There's no trick to it other than good spatial awareness.

jump, catch your front peg on the ledge, and the back will always follow. go fast.

you should try smiths. jump like a feeble, nosedive and miss your tire, and the back tire will get on

ooo sorry i meant that for dirtjumpP.1 but i know we were riding a 5 or 6 foot mini ramp for a while and we had trouble w/ peg stalls because the coping is not at a completely vertical angle so we would have to have our foot out to catch ourselves or we would go over the deck are you riding a mini ramp type deal or an actual vert cus that is prolly the problem if you are riding a mini ramp and theres really no way that you will be able to keep your foot on the pedal if it is what im talking about
