Grinding is actually pretty easy if you can find a good ledge and set
your pedal up to be as frictionless as possible on it. Go into a
college or city area and look for a ledge that has been used by
skaters. They are black on the corner from dino damage and wax. Take
the pins out of the bottom of your grinding pedal.
Ride quickly at the ledge and do a quick rolling hop on. Note that if
you hop too high above the ledge you will have too much downwards speed
and not enough forwards speed when you hit the ledge and will stop. You
want to try to hop just high enough to hit the ledge so you have no
downwards force and all forwards force. Otherwise you will stop dead.
Land with the crank and try to reduce friction by leaning away from the
crank slightly and pulling up on the seat to take weight off. Try this
and you will get a grind in like 10 tries.
Edit: You'll figure out how to hop out...its easy, when you stop you
hop off.
