The following tricks are grinds

The 50-50 grind

Approach the ledge or rail you are going to grind either at a 45 degree angle or less. (I find the the 45 degree angle a little bit more difficult to pull-off, but easier get onto.)

Ollie at an angle with your front foot first and your back foot following until you land on the ledge/rail. You want to ollie just high enough to get on, but not too high or you will slam your trucks really hard. Once you start sliding, keep your weight over the center of the board. If possible, have your back foot on the tail. On curbs and low ledges, you can just roll out of it sometimes, but if it is higher you either need to drop or ollie out of it. to drop it, just keep your weight over the back truck and manual until you fall. To ollie out, pop the tail and fall to the ground. When you land, keep your weight centered and try not to slip out. Stay balanced and ride away smooth.

The noseslide

Note: This trick is for people who skateboard regular foot. If you are goofy, just reverse everything.

1)Roll at a good pace toward the object.
2)Try and be either parallel to the object or rolling towards it at a slight angle.
3)When you're close enough, pop the board up and turn the board so it meets the object with it's nose. Tip - When trying to turn the board, use your body and your legs at the same time, you want to have your body facing sideways to the object.
4)Slide, Slide, Slide...
5)If you want to loand regular, simply lean your back foot backwards 90 degrees near the end, as well as your body and legs. If you want to land switch, lean forward when your sliding and turn your body and legs 90 degrees forward.
6)Roll away.

Hints and Tips - To land the trick regular or switch, you need to use both your body and your legs to turn, no just your feet. If helps in you lean forward to land switch, and lean back if you want to land regular.

Approach the ledge at a good speed. (Never slow!)
When you reach your ledge (a VERY slight angle), make sure that your front foot is near the 2 back bolts on the front truck.
Ollie high enough for the front truck to be a little bit above the ledge.
In the air, put pressure on the nose of the deck so that the board's front truck is on the ledge. Then push foward so that it will grind more easily.
When you are at the end of the ledge lean back just a little so you can get off of it and land.
**When you are grinding, you have to lean to towards the ledge. This will put pressure on the wheel that's on there and you will grind more smoothly. You shouldn't do this on a railing because you will fall.
