HOME >> HELP >> BOARDWALK GRIND

A boardwalk is another one of those new school grinds which is almost completely for the street. (Unless you really want to hurt yourself, that is!) You need to know how to topside for this trick, so if you don't, go to the topside soul tutorial.

To do a boardwalk, you again have to start with the topside grind. Skate up alongside your preferred curb and jump. Lean right forward so you can get your front foot topside. At the same time, bring your other foot up and place it under you. Because you're leaning forward, it will go up onto its toe wheel by itself.

This is one of those 'style' grinds, and so make sure to give it some. Be smooth, squat down low, and ride it out.
