SkaMiDan's Aggressive Inline Skating Grinds Trick List

Your guide to grinds in aggressive inline skating

Grinds are much more than just tricks – they are the heart of aggressive inline skating. You glide controlledly with your skates over urban or artificial obstacles such as rails, curbs, ledges, or copings. Whether made of metal, concrete, or plastic – every surface presents you with new challenges and opens up unimaginable possibilities for style and creativity.

What makes grinds so special?

  • Technique & Precision: A clean grind requires finesse and absolute control – from the approach and pop to the perfect landing.
  • Flow & Aesthetics: Combine different grinds and develop your very own style.
  • Creative Freedom: Every spot is unique. Whether a city rail, bowl edge, or parking garage curb – the street becomes your personal playground.

The first successful grind is a real milestone on your journey as a skater. The mix of adrenaline, technique, and control creates an incomparable feeling – and marks the starting gun for even more spectacular tricks.

This is exactly where our SkaMiDan trick list comes in:

We have put together a comprehensive collection of grinds and tricks for you – ideal for learning your first grind or expanding your repertoire. The list is clearly organized: sorted alphabetically and additionally categorized by difficulty level. This way, you can find out in no time which tricks you already master and which ones are waiting for you next.

Especially practical: For many tricks, you will find supplementary images, videos, and detailed video tutorials that allow you to get started right away.

You will not only learn new tricks, but you can also finally call them by their proper names – or vice versa: You know the name and quickly find out what is behind it.

The SkaMiDan Grinds Trick List is more than just a list – it is your personal training companion on the path to more skills, style, and confidence when grinding.

Difficulty

Beginner

Grinds for beginners can generally be learned relatively quickly. They do not yet require any special movements for which particular flexibility or regular stretching would be necessary. Nevertheless, every grind requires a lot of practice – especially to hit it deliberately and safely and eventually be able to perform it at higher speeds.

The biggest challenge with grinds, however, is often mental: the right mindset. Jumping into a grind – especially as speed increases – takes courage and requires regular practice to develop a confident routine:
