Feeble Grind
A boardslide and a grind at the same time.
The Feeble Grind is a technical trick where your back truck grinds on top of the ledge or rail, while the board slides along the side of the obstacle, with your front truck on the other side. It requires a lot of precision to lock into.

Grind
Lock in the grind and slide, keeping your weight on your back truck and your body centered.
