Grinding can be difficult so be sure you have the skill before you go out and try. Your first time your most likely going to wipe-out.
1. Make sure you have enough speed at get on the rail and make it down the rail. Try going slow at first and eventually build up speed after a couple of attempt and you become comfortable with the rail.
2. Just slide up on to the rail and keep your shoulders over the rail and if you feel yourself falling off the side just go with it and DO NOY try to correct it you will most likely get draped over the rail.
3. Getting off the rail can be easy just kinda fall off the end in a controlled fashion.
4. After grinding the same rail you will become comfortable with and you can try different grinds but I suggest 50-50 first.
