"Royaling"
May 11, 2008 by MiTcH1337 I have trouble doing royales. I can't seem to keep my feet tweaked backwards, its far too slippery, and i end up sliding off. Do i need to create a groove in it to work better? Replies

Should i make it by cutting the plate?
Rubbing it with stone?
Rubbing it against the rail constantly?

method 1: the first time i did it, i found a peace of "dragon skin" it's this super super rough metal "sandpaper" with 1 sticky side. i wrapped the dragon skin around 2" rail (most rails are 1.5" so i wanted it to be a little wider). then i just rubbed my shoe across it in both ufo and royale positions until it was down far enough.
method 2: just find a really rough ledge and do the same thing.

If you want i can take pics of what REAL grooves are supposed to look like.

Ill do this to my Expresses as ill be using them for ledges, and my Vectors for hand rails.

Remember, the more fucked up your plate is, the better its going to perform

The only "correct" groove would be the one that fits your grinding style perfectly.
Most people go for the groove that goes directly down the center of the plate and up the center of the sides. This won't benefit you if you don't tweak directly down the center.
Like me, if you look at my right shoe, the outside edges have grooves that slant to the left. Those benefit my natural grinding more than straight center grooves
