How do it
A moderately difficult trick where the harderst part is returning to your original position.
1.
Knees are bent and ready to execute an ollie, your weight is on the rear edge.
2.
Keep your shoulders in their original position, wait until your board is above the rail, turn your legs perpendicular to the obstacle and shift your weight onto your rear leg. The key to a successful grind is landing exactly in the center, i.e. on the top of the railing, thus allowing you to catch your balance.
3.
When you approach the end of the rail, begin turning your shoulders in the direction of rotation, hold this position until the very edge, then sharply turn your legs to complete the 270. Make sure you spin above the rail and not just sag off of it, to avoid hitting anything during your spin.
4.
Catch your balance, ride to the end of the obstacle and simply turn your board back to it’s starting position. A correct shoulder position will make this a breeze.
