backwards grind

Yep,

Quite a few people have tryed and done backwards grinds. Alex Toms has
probably done the best one i've seen on a fairly long ledge at a
skatepark.

I've seen people attempt to slide rails backwards, but never actually
land one. Maybe it's been done by now, but if not i'm sure it will be
done pretty soon.

I am pretty sure he is, actually I am almost positive you see him ride
in it.

Hmmm, nope, I don't think Kevin's in U-II. You might be thinking of Dan
Doerkson, I think he does a couple backwards grinds.
I remember Kevin saying that he wanted to be in U-II, but he couldn't
get together with Dan to film.

Hello. I'm not in UNiVERsE 2 at all. In spaced out, i do a pretty decent
180 grind on a bench. go to www.unicyclist.com/gallery/albus80 and in my
"sponsor video" or whatever its called, theres a 180 grind, and a 180
grind 180 out in the middle of thge video somewhere. those are all from
a pretty long time ago, but the riding is decent. ive tried them onto
handrails, but no success, and pretty painful failures too.

<threadjack>
Hey Kevin, what was the song originally in your sponsor video? Because
that was one sweet song, and I don't remember it or the lyrics, but it
was awesome....
I've searched the forums, but to no avail.

Its either by Bjork, Goldfinger, or Goldie, but i really don't think
those are the songs in your video...

It's one long techno song in your sampler I am thinking of, not the
footage in Spaced Out.

Hey ,
As Dan and Kevin have said, 180 grind have been done on to ledges/
benches. As far as I know no one has done one on to a rail, the few
attempts I have seen have ended with the riders being in quite a lot of
pain. I’m sure some one will pull one off on a rail before to long

The techno one is the new music. I remember before that it had two
songs, one of which was Goldfinger's 99 Red Balloons.
My Life Story was the other one I was looking for, thanks Kevin!!
