Replying to First Grind

Being a skier, I thought frontside on my h blocks would be the easiest first grind. not the case. it seems like getting some sole involved makes it a little easier. So i finally stuck a sole grind on a flat ledge for the first time last week and I wasnt sliding too far but it seems like it sets you up well for a 180 or 270 off...that was easier than i thought it would be.

But today, i was trying to ride a mellow down ledge and could not get an h block in front of the sole foot for the life of me...but i did stick it one footed a few times and even thru a little grab in there. Im hoping skates cross over better to skiing than skiing does to skating. This sh!t is tech.

What was your first grind?
