Grinding a circle rail?

Question

I have a circle grinding rail and am trying to learn to grind it. But every time I ollie onto it I immediatly slip and land on my but. Is this because it's a circle rail or something else.?

Answer 1

It could be if you are used to flat grinding rails.  When I got me "circle" grinding rail all I had ever grinded were circle rails. Circle rails require more balance than the flat versions. If your landing on your butt just lean forward as you grind, just like riding down a ramp if you don't lean forward you will slip out and land painfully on your butt. It's all about commitment so just try and try again!  You will get it someday. Good luck!
