    Twisted jc plastics. Just ride to a rail and jump on, after a while you
    get the hang of it and be able to slide. I don't think you need a
    tutorial. Oh yeah alu pedals have good grip, depending on what
    brand/model.

    Heres a tip, dont learn to grind on snafu pedals with pins like i did
    😄

    If your using metal pedals, make sure you only grind on one side
    because after a while if you grind on both they will be become
    incredabley slippery (like mine)

    So i suggest plastic pedals, which i have now. Their lighter and hurt
    your shins less. And are quite gripy even after you sand them down with
    a few concrete ledges.

    Ok, once your good at pedal grabing ledges then find a waxed ledge or
    something metal that will slide easily, something slightly sloped is
    good because then you just need to hop onto it and go with the flow.

    For flat grinds, try not to break your momentum, ride fast into the
    rail. INTO the rail, not on to the rail.

    Do you do much trials or bigstreet? Thats what will kill your plastic
    pedals.

    Normal pedals with plastic board stached by screws to the pedal, will
    work with most metal pedals used for unicycling.

    agreed but if you invest in shin gaurds you wnt need to worry about the
    peddals hitting you so you can get metal ones.
