And it doesnt have to be medal. It could be any object that slides.

And it doesn't need to be downhill if you have wax and do a fast rolling
hop.
Of course, make sure it isn't uphill. I don't think I needed to say
that, but there's some crazy people on this forum.

Where can you get a grindplate? I really want one, and was tempted to
make one before I thought, "I don't know how."
And if possible, could you tell me a place I can get them locally? I'm
rather short of cash right now, soooo....

When I started grinding i noticed my supertenderizers where getting
messed up, so I made sure that the same side of the pedal was always
down. After a while it almost wore through in some spots, and due to the
reduced weight the ground side was always pointing up when I tried to
mount. then I took my pedal in to shop class and welded two aluminum
plates leaving a space in the middle for rails. I have never tried
grinding with a single flat plate.

even if you dont grind having something onthe bottom of your pedal grab
side is nice, because then grip dosent get messed up.

there are a couple ways.

sliding on just your pedal. this will slide better but is harder to
balence.

sliding on your pedal and crank. This will be more stable, but this way
your tire is more prone to "bite " or rub against what you are grinding
and this will launch the rider.

Has anyone heard of a titaniun pedal. Titanium would slide great and
last long.
