    I realize probably 10000000 questions have been asked--BUT I did try
    searching my question first-So bear with me-

    When grinding, Do I grind with the crank that is facing the back or
    front?
    Thanks-Russell

    depends what foot do you pedal grab with.
    it makes it easier if you do the pedal grabbing foot because you
    already have the landing on the pedal (on something) feeling down.

    when I grind i do forward crank, when I crank grab I do back crank. I
    say do what ever feel the most natural to you.

    Learn to do both! Find your natural way first, and then learn your
    other foot as well. It opens up a lot more possiility for tricks and
    what not.

    try and learn how to grind with your pedal and not so much your crank
    because when you get on hand rails your crank will fall over the hand
    rail most the time and the hand rail will get caught imbetween your
    crank and tire causing you to fall and potentially kill your kids...
    learning both ways is good though but i find grinding with the crank
    froward easier than crank in back because when i grind with the crank
    in back my foot hits the rail and it makes me stop or slow down and
    its harder to balance so i grind with crank forward and its easier to
    balance with the crank forward because it gives you a little bit more
    stability.

    I grind foot forward (right foot) and I use my right hand to grab the
    sadle.
    I find it easier to grind this way then to my handfree side.
    I only grind on the pedal: beter on rails and slides faster (less
    contact point then with crank+pedal)
