grind?

FOr grinding, your gonna want to rolling hop. Ride forward, moderate
speed at first, crouch down, hold the handle/front of the seat, and
basiclly jump up.

It's at: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/free4all?page=7

And it's called "Pebbles Skate Park".

Skate parks are good.

If you've got plastic pedals, then you might want to build a grind
plate. There are instructions on unicycling.2ya.com, but the basic idea
is that you want to cover the bottom of your pedal with something more
long lasting. All you'll need is a sheet of metal, something to cut it
with, and some pliers or vice grips.

You just cut out the metal with some 'fingers' that you can bend up
around the pedal to hold it in place, and then grind away 😄

actually, you probably want plastic to grind on. slides easier than
metal. I think that he needs to get stronger metal platform pedals,
then make plastic grind plates.
actually, what you'll need to do sometime is get an entire new uni.
because quite frankly, a Torker CX will not hold up to much, and if you
get to the skill level where you're grinding, the Torker CX will break
very soon after.

They're 'Gusset Full Throttle Flat Bottomed Grind Pedals', I've been
using them for about a year (I bought some off wiggle.co.uk when my 20"
Onza arrived) They're pretty much invincible (except the bearings are a
bit rubbish, you'll need to strip & regrease them as soon as they
arrive), and really useful for pedal grabs, grinding (which I can't
quite do yet) and other actions that require flat pedals. They weigh
quite a bit, but the solid plates mean the pedals auto rotate to
upright, making skinny mounting easy as hell cos the pedals are always
pointing up.

Loose.
