Frontside Grind - Rollerblading

Frontside grind on the bent ledge thing on rollerblades at the Penticton Skatepark / Youthpark.

The frontside grind and makio's are my best grinds so far. Still working on others. I hope to learn the Soul and Mizu soon.

Aggressive skating def:
In addition to speed, fitness, artistic, or recreational skating, some skaters prefer aggressive skating. Aggressive skating is also often referred to by participants as rollerblading, blading or rolling and includes a variety of grinds, airs, slides and other advanced skating maneuvers. It also includes "vert", "park" and "street skating" which refer to tricks performed on almost any obstacle. Street skating specifically refers to tricks performed on non-allocated obstacles (i.e. not skate parks). There are three major types of aggressive inline skates: hard boots, soft boots, and skeletal skates (e.g. Xsjado, pronounced "shadow"). Hard boots are very rigid and often heavy compared to speed skates and recreational skates. Soft boots offer more flexibility than hard boots, but are normally just as heavy.

Aggressive inline skates could also be fitted with small hard rubber or plastic wheels, used in place of the two middle wheels. These small wheels or "anti-rockers" are used to help lock onto a ledge or rail when performing. Anti rockers enable the skater attempting the trick to stay on a rail for a longer time without the frames of the skates slipping off the ledge.

Aggressive inline saw a sharp decline in the late 1990s, but during 2000-2003 found a major resurgence for the sport when street skating became increasingly popular. At this time professional skaters including Brian Shima, Jeff Stockwell, Chris Haffey, Aaron Feinberg, and Alex Broskow among others were pushing unseen boundaries in performing seemingly impossible and dangerous stunts in mostly street settings. In addition, the IMYTA (I Match Your Trick Association) provided a venue for skaters to demonstrate these tricks. The IMYTA held contests at a street location and the skaters would have to match each trick in the first round of skating or be eliminated. The progression continued with the pool of skaters dwindling and more dangerous and difficult tricks would then be performed and a winner declared. Competitions such as the IMYTA encouraged skaters from many different countries to set up their own local real street competitions.

I'm a big fan of antirocker wheels now. I use to use the xsjadow mook frames and they were cool but of you lean to far forward my wheel would bite and throw me. With the antirockers - if i lean forward they hit and grind. Now I have ones that take bearings which are cool so they don't grind into little cubes because they barely spin

where you learned this? have you a site?

[neokregon2009]

@Baciox48 There are some instructional video clips on YouTube like AMALL, OSC, OMBHOST, and others. If you click on my name in blue you can see my channel and tons of trick tips are in my Favorites section. ---  But I REALLY WISH someone out there would make a very detailed instructional dvd on tons of trips and tips. I would defiantly buy one.

@neokregon2009 I went the opposite way. I had stock remz with antis now I use xsjado mook. Definately a different feel, but it's worked out so far.

@MrSwick23  I got an inline/skate trip[le 8 helmet now with a removable washable liner (sweat guard). Its really cool cause it doesn't smell like dog shit after it gets worn a few times.

[MrSwick23]
