How to Start a BMX Ice Pick Grind Trick

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Virgil Black and I'm here at Ramp Riders Skate Park on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip once again I'm going to explain the importance of basically finding yourself in a nice small ledge. This trick can definitely be dangerous you want to make sure that you eye it up a little bit. Look at it and make sure that you know exactly what is going on when you are going to get onto this ledge. Key factors are definitely smoothness; definitely the slickness level of this ledge will effect how fast you grind. So you want to make sure you find a small ledge basically and experiment how you are actually going to do this trick. This really doesn't require that high of a bunny hop as you can see this is really much taller than your back peg. So you can see here not much of a height to get on there. The key area will basically be the back end of the bike back here cause it will be the only thing connecting to the ledge, that and the side of your wheel. Basically this area right here it's only a slight hop so basically you're just going to hop on and skim your peg across the top. At first you don't want to take whole thing and regret away basically work with the small little circle of areas first. Get the feel for actually grinding a small area and then start working on a balance point."
