How hard is it to grind?

This was a question I was asking myself a while back as well. Now I can
grind and I can tell you its not that hard. The hardest part is finding
something to grind on. Once you've got a rail, bench etc just rolling
hop into a crank grab, your momentum will just cary you into the slide.
It took me 2-3 tries to get a feel for the slide, once you can go along
with the slide its easy.

street is about style...

yes 180s down stuff and grinds but also about how smooth you can do
something... if it only takes you 1 hop to do etc. and riding away
nicely... although hard to do, not have your arms flailing around
everywhere.

then you can go bigger as you get around to it.

try 360s, no footers, unispins, 180 grinds, no footers to 180 grind
etc.

thats a bit of steet.

grinding isnt hard at all... like a moving crank grab. just start off
small.

ur said:

*And it seems that as soon as someone can grind, they consider
themselves a street unicyclist, just wondering if being able to ok
hops, 180s off stuff and grinding is basically what a street
unicyclist is, or whether there is more to it than that???*

Someone hold me back, I don't wanna have to hurt him.

You wanna learn how to grind? Tomsey should have a video tutorial on how
to do it as a bonus feature on his upcoming movie right?
