A grind on the front peg and pedal while the rear end of the bike is hanging below the grind surface.
How do it
The un-luc-e is a fun grind that not a lot of people do. You lean on the front peg and front pedal, while your rear wheel hangs lower than the ledge. Learn the double peg first — and say goodbye to your shiny new pedal.
1.
Find a ledge about as high as your headset or head tube — and cover it in wax to decrease the traction.
2.
Ride parallel to the ledge and do a bunny hop. What you want is a double peg, but without lifting your rear wheel and placing only the front peg on the ledge. Your front peg lands on the ledge and your rear peg misses it and goes lower. Now is the time to shift your weight forward and lean on the pedal. You'll end up grinding on the front peg and pedal.
3.
Balancing is relatively simple and shouldn't pose a problem. The most challenging part is entering the grind. You exit by doing a side hop and a regular hop at the end of the ledge.
