The Backside Grind is very similar to the Frontside Grind; the only
difference is that you can’t see the rail as easily as you can while
Frontside Grinding.
To Backside Grind we recommend for beginners that you approach the curb
or rail at a low speed, this Grind (like the Frontside Grind) can be fast
making it hard to get used to. When you are approaching the rail or curb,
you must approaching it from the opposite way to the Frontside Grind.
So as you are approaching the curb or rail with a moderate speed, you
must spot your landing area this is important as you can't see where you
will land after you have jumped. Jump and spin 90 degrees and land onto
your spotted area of the rail or curb in-between your two middle wheels,
with your legs shoulder width apart and knees bent. You should be facing
away from the rail as you are grinding (back towards the rail) this is
the Backside Grind.
