When i feeble or double peg a ledge/rail i always end up putting my pedal down onto the ledge/rail while i am grinding it. On a rail this causes my crank to get stuck on the other side making me not able to grind it. Has anyone got any tips on how to stop this from happening?

Idk it was never a problem for me. I just learned to feeble without doing that.
I love my bike but i hate myself

Dont do it? I mean you are in control of your feet. Just try to keep your feet level. Thats all there is to it.

Just don't do it there's no tip for that.
As anything un-natural it might feel odd at first but you'll just have to get used to it.

I used to do it and now I rarely do it. You feel off balance when you grind so you put your foot down to regain balance. Just work on getting less sketchy grinds and you won't do it anymore. Or just get metal pedals.

This. and maybe this could help at the start. lean back a bit causing your pedals to rise to stay level with your body. Might help, i tried it with my friend and it sorted it out

I do it whenever I get on something funny and unbalanced. Doesn't really bother me since I consider that grind already fucked up for getting on funny.

I'm right foot forward & grind on the left, so I've never had this problem thankfully but I've seen it done a lot. I would assume you're just losing balance when you get on the ledge though but idk.

I used to harass a buddy a bit about that, we called it "Cheater foot".

I naturally grind back foot and love hoping into a feeble or a double peg and pushing my foot down so it's like a weird little pedal and peg ice thing. It's a fun stupid little grind
I'm a punk bmxer, I can't do it well so I do it loud.
