questions about grinding

I have just started to lean grinds and I was wondering what kind of
obstacle other unicyclits have learned on. Im learning on a sketchy
homemade grind box thats not very smooth. I also can not hop or pop out
of my grinds. Any help would be aappreciated.

I'll go ahead and resurrect this thread. :D I tried a grind today and
I got some speed and hit the ledge and the uni stopped dead in its
tracks and I went flying forward. I assume the surface of the object
you are grinding on has something to do with it? This was a concrete
bench. Should I find a metal one or a low rail?

primo pedals work well for grinding.

find a metal or plastic bench.

concrete sucks unless it is sloped.

when the uni stops dead in its tracks, it is beause either your tire is
rubbing against the side of the ledge, or the concrete is to rough (most
concrete is), or as stated you didn't lean back far enough.

try removing the pins from one side of your pedal

low rails are harder because if you hit them wrong, you'll get locked in
(the rail slips in between the wheel and the crank). This is probably
the worst thing you can do to your rim.
