Rock-n-Roll Grind is another trick that you can do on the rail or box. In this maneuver, you need to keep your board across the rail while grinding. Make sure to brush up on your Ollies first as well as your turns before performing this Grind. In this section, learn how to execute a Rock-n-Roll Grind. Use the animation as your guide.
STEP 1: It is essential to note that approach and timing are very important when doing a Rock-n-Roll Grind. Ride towards the rail, with speed under control.
STEP 2: Have a good take-off so you will stay balanced and in control. Make an Ollie to reach the rail's surface.
STEP 3: Move your board in such a way that it will be perpendicular to the rail. In order to maintain balance, make sure that the middle of the board is on the surface, while the nose and tail are on either side.
STEP 4: Simply grind like you would if you are just on snow. Keep your board across the rail. Stay balanced and just go with the grind.
STEP 5: Make another Ollie as you reach the end of the rail. Have perfect timing to avoid an early exit.
STEP 6: Land with both feet and then ride away.
Just like in 50/50 Grinds, make sure to have the right approach, balance and timing in doing Rock-n-Roll Grinds. Keep on practicing until you get comfortable doing it.
Keep your weight perpendicular to the surface of the box or rail with your board flat. If you lean back too much you will be on your ass quicker than you can say "impact shorts". Lean forward too much and you'll perform a sick face-plant.
In short, don't use your edges like you would on snow.
like hielan says, it says nothing about to much weight forward and your hi siding and to much weight backwards and your glad you bought them impact shorts.
A rock and roll is a vert trick from skating and requires a skater to roll up over the coping and stall on the base of their board, then re-enter the tranny. This section is describing a backside boardslide and maybe should be edited???
Looks easy. Last time I did it it was a horrible accident. went toeside, leaned to far forward, hit my knee on the box, and hit my elbow on the ground. it kinda sounded like whoa, bam, crash, ouch!It was kinda funny>;lol.
