How To Grind
Well you want to learn . The first thing that you need to know is how to stall. Stalls are essentially
skating up to an object, jumping onto it, holding there for a couple of seconds, and then jumping off. This can be
anything from a stair, to a curb, to a car, to the coping on a vert.
To begin learning stalls, it is easiest to do it by going straight at the object you want to stall on, lets say a stair.
Slowly skate up to the stair, and at about a foot away jump up onto the stair. Do your best to land between the
correct wheels, as that is the purpose of this exercise! If the jump is giving you trouble, you can start by stepping
