There is a sweet chain near my house that is like 15 feet long and three feet high, think a skier could grind it?

There's a video of Will Wesson doing it somewhere. Maybe it's in Refresh or Eye Trip, can't remember. So it's definitely possible, it's just a matter of your skill level.

I would suggest filming it... So we can all see complete success or complete failure. Your decision.

Are you talking a tight chain or loose chain? Does your chain hang low? Wobble to the floor?

If u have an extra pair of. Skis, rip off the edges and it's 10000x easier to grind chains, that'd what the pros do in urban, lines makes a pair like that

Although in Eye Trip, Wesson did slide that tennis net, which is awesome.

This is the sort of thing where you just gotta go and see what happens. Good luck!

Based off that video and my knowldge of chains i would recommend that you don't over pop when getting onto the cahin as he dropped a ways onto the chain it bounced and moved a lot more than if you got on it easier. As well you shouldn't fear catching your tips on the cahin as likely there is nothing underneath so i would say pop to just make it on the chain.

also make sure you don't jump into the chain from the side pushing it horizontal.

Make sure you film it so if you eat shit hard we can still give props for trying.
