Right now I am about to show you how to do a feble grind. On a really low edge something that has a little bit of a lip coming up to it so I hardly have to hop to it at all. Like I said previously, you want to make sure that you don't get your back peg up too high because you will end up either coming like a ton of bricks on your peg and risk doing damage to your axle which is just a headache or you are going right up over. From there, keep your front wheels straight and you want to make sure to carry enough speed to get across the object. So there, really simple but you just pick up and again, that is a really small ledge. So stuff like that is usually pretty easy to learn on because it is not scary at all. Doing higher stuff is sometimes easier actually because you hop up into it more and for me, I think it is easier mentally but learning on something low like that is probably a good way to go and you want to make sure looking ahead. Don't look down too far at your front wheel. Look ahead and make sure that your front wheel is straight. You know you can kind of look down and check to make sure that it is lined up but as long as you don't feel yourself twisting too much once you are on the ledge
