Snowboard Tricks - Rock-n-Roll Grinds

Rock-n-Roll Grind is another trick that you can do on the rail or box. In this maneuver, you need to keep your board across the rail while grinding. Make sure to brush up on your Ollies first as well as your turns before performing this Grind. In this section, learn how to execute a Rock-n-Roll Grind. You can use the animation at the right as your guide.

	STEP 1: It is essential to note that approach and timing are very important when doing a Rock-n-Roll Grind. Ride towards the rail, with speed under control.
	STEP 2: Have a good take-off so you will stay balanced and in control. Make an Ollie to reach the rail's surface.
	STEP 3: Move your board in such a way that it will be perpendicular to the rail. In order to maintain balance, make sure that the middle of the board is on the surface, while the nose and tail are on either side.
	STEP 4: Simply grind like you would if you are just on snow. Keep your board across the rail. Stay balanced and just go with the grind.
	STEP 5: Make another Ollie as you reach the end of the rail. Have perfect timing to avoid an early exit.
	STEP 6: Land with both feet and then ride away.

Just like in 50/50 Grinds, make sure to have the right approach, balance and timing in doing Rock-n-Roll Grinds. Keep on practicing until you get comfortable doing it.
