Slippery soap and banana moves add up to sliding fun for everyone

Grinding is a new and exciting sport and comes with a wide variety of techniques. Here are some popular grinding moves.

Soap slide This is the most basic grind. Jump on to your obstacle with both feet parallel and about shoulders width, or farther apart. Skateboarders would call it a truck grind.

Pooh This grind is similar to a soap slide, except your back foot should be tweaked over on to its outside edge.

Inline skaters would call it a royale.

Butter This grind is similar to the pooh slide, except you move in the opposite direction.

Squid slide To pull this trick, just cross your legs and slide, inliners will probably try to call it a unity, but grinders know better.
