Well since I just talked to you about doing pegless grinds, I figure I might as well talk about probably the easiest of that variety much like peg grinds I would say pedal feebles are probably are the easiest pedal grinds. The basic concept of this is like a whole like feeble grind where you have your front wheel right across the object you are riding and in place of a back peg you have a pedal. Most people do it with their back pedal. That is how I do it. It is also a little more convenient to do it that way because of the brakes. You can actually lock your brake and lock the pedal into place and it makes it a little bit more solid. It is really not necessary to do it. There is plenty of people who do pretty incredible pedal feeble tricks with no brakes but it can usually help especially if you are first learning how to do pedal feebles. One thing to keep in mind is that pedals for the most part are not made to be ground on. They are usually going to stick a little more to a surface especially something that is not covered in metal because those tins that are on pedals to provide grip for your feet are just going to dig in to whatever you are sliding on. You want to make sure you are on something steel you know pedal grinding would usually but this isn't going to happen. You want to get adequate speed and just like a regular feeble, you are going to want to keep looking off to the end, carry a little bit speed and get a good little slight hop to get off the end. You know you don't have to do anything too drastic. yeah, so you just want to keep some speed and it is a fun variation on a trick that by this point, you already know.
