    When you do a crank stall or a grind, (if that's wat they are called...)
    Do you balance on the crank of the pedals? I've been trying to do it on
    the pedals, and i cant do it, and im scared to try it on the cranks
    because it seems like it will break the spokes... 🙁

    you can land on either pedal or crank, its normaly easyer to land on
    just your pedal and you can also normaly pedal grab higher things than
    you can crank grab. From a crank grab you just have to pop up and land
    on your tyre, with a pedal grab you have to swing the uni up slightly
    and push off with the foot that is on what you have landed on. when you
    grind you can grind on either pedal or pedal and crank, for rails you
    normaly grind with just the pedal but on ledges you grind with pedal
    and crank.

    You can't dommage the spokes it your doing it on the crank, except if
    you (not by purpose) grind the the bearing holder and the cranks, than
    you will (you have some great chance) hit the spokes/hub flange.

    on conclusion, grind only with the pedal, it's better. When your
    griding with the pedal, you have to "pull" on your uni, try doing pedal
    stall before griding, it think it will help. Oh and when you will do
    you pedal stall, try to stay "as long a possible" (I mean like 5 sec)
    when your at the point your do them easily, you will do grind (on a
    ledge:P) like cake (I suppose).

    This was the closest thread I found while searching for crank grabs and
    hopping up to ledges you can't quite hop up to directly from the
    ground. Could someone describe in a bit more detail where your weight
    needs to be and what angle you need to land/etc when you land on the
    ledge with your crank and pedal and proceed to try and jump up to the
    ledge? I've got the control for the full move but I lack the
    fundamentals to pull it off. The second jump from the crank stall to
    the ledge is where the problems seem to start.

    also, in before "go practice/search/dont bump old thread/etc"

    Got it last night 🙂 This really helped me out. I'm one of the guys
    that thinks, thinks again, thinks how and why before actually doing
    it...

    It really does come down to knowing you'll make the jumps high enough.
    If you have any doubt in your mind you won't make it...just have
    confidence that you'll make it up and you have it.
