Grind (sport)

Grinding is a sliding stunt performed in many extreme sports. Stances in which slides are performed are known as grinds.

Grinding is performed by sliding across the top of an obstacle, and can be accomplished in a number of ways. A range of equipment can be used to grind an object or obstacle and each sport lends the performer different options of obstacles and subsequent grind positions.
