I can't grind for shit. Straight up it is NOT my thing.
I grind to the right , yet I'm left foot forward so technically they're switch yet they feel better. I'm wondering if trying regular grinds (Yet switch in a sense for me) would be better considering I would be able to put my front foot down and have more surface area contact with my pedal? I ride a coaster and I find that slightly affects hopping off the ledge. I can't feeble for more than a meter without hopping off and I really want to be able to hold them. Would leaning really far into the ledge help to keep me holding into them? I know everyone rides differently but all the locals all peg wizards and I can't do shit.
Also wondering if plastics would help because the sliding with less friction would mean l can hold them for longer. Mind you I take only 1 or 2 cranks before hopping at the ledge so not fast. Pegs are expensive so if I invest in some it'd have to be a real big conviencement to purchase them and that'd mean I'd have to use them alot.
I can 360 and hop down 9 sets and 180 down 4 sets on a daily basis but grinds sketch me the fuck out. I faceplanted doing some stupid smith- roll along grind and my front peg caught the ledge and I ate shit so it spooks me out even more then regular. Grinds area huge part of street riding so I want to get used to them at least a bit more so I can incorporate it into my style instead of going to a spot and not being able to ride with the friends.
