D-mare session ;-)
The stuff was oily at 22°C, so as I know people use to seat on the ramp for eating sandwichs, drinking beers and coke (and smoking grass or whatever), oil, butter or mayonnaise should be it... Sometime the ramp is sticky from coke, then I put some water and clean... Chewing gums are also bad...

: Its not butter, its wax. The inliners do this crap all the time and ruin the ramps and bowls for the rest of us. They cant grind without cheating.

: : Couldn't resist from my last session:

: : "With a perfect blue skie, I planned to go skating on my nearby ramp, aka Bures sur Yvette. So I went there as usual, starting with cleanning the ramp as usual, then I put my skate and protecs, finishing by my whrist guards.....Damned, forgot them at home... So I pack everything, go back home, take the damned whrist gards, come back to the ramp, pad up again full armor this time: ahaha, that's it, I'm ready to skate!!! Start to pump up, ouch!!! why are my skates so slippery .... go down, I touch the ramp and dang, spots of grease (butter may be?), too many of them to be removed: end of session.....exactly like some of my soft nightmares (on hard ones, w(h)ell the ones I can told here, I fall hard from 10m miss airs...)
: : So I pack everything for the second time, and driving back home, thinking about this sunny day without skating, humm, why not trying Guyancourt ramp, I've not tested it yet, only seen it once a rainny day: it's wide, not very high, 15min driving, perfect to try long long slides without the fear of vert!!!! So finally it worked out!!!!
: : So finally, a perfect 2.5h good session (after cleaning again a ramp...from dust and cherry cores)"

Most of the time, they can't grind at all. You grind with metal, not with plastics.

And yes: Inliners waxing ramps is the biggest annoyance there is in sk8ing.

I know that they dont grind but dont tell them that lol. They ruined the big bowl for a bit and then they wonder why the boarders have issues with them???? My boyfriend spent many hours scrapping the wax out. They put wax on thier freaking wheels trying to look like pros or some crap like that. I say learn to skate properly and keep everyone safe. If you cant slide far or go fast enough, tuff. some of us like to stay in one piece!

 Thanks for sharing bro. You just gave me a new trick to try on the mini. It's funny how the new inliners think they are so much more aggro than us quad skaters. They fail to realize most of us did it way before them and invented the tricks they now do. Most of us also stopped inlining so that we could go back to our oldschool roots.

: : : Funny, I can to that grind on curbs on inlines, but when I try it on my rollersk8s, I get mixed up. I think it's because I try it sidestance on miniramps. The approach is different. I think bladers call it a "Mizzoo" (sp?)

I did a stall that way on the mini ramp but no slides yet for me. Not sure how to slide lol.

 Thanks Robert and Irene!! Seems mizou to me too, but for some references, mizou is frontside, like a kindgrind in reverse direction, so still some questions. Well whatever the name, I'm happy if you try it and like it Robert!!
Sure Irene, approach and landing are half the trick!!

found again some nice animations to "define" some tricks:
