@OmegaPaladin Try to forget warframe controls for a bit and lets pretend we're flying something different altogether.

I'd also recommend getting the mod that magnetises your K-Drive to grindable surfaces, as it will make it much easier to stick a grind. I can't remember if you need to have your own custom K-Drive to be able to put mods on it, but the first tier of K-Drive parts are all available to build your first. Be fussy later.

Important Points: 1. You do not need speed for tricks, you need forward momentum; Speed later, leave the sprint key alone.

2. Don't touch A/D keys unless you're dodging something. Any key except forward will tear you from a steady trajectory.

3. Steer the K-Drive with your mouse only, especially for tricks, this keeps you steady enough to plan your landings and identify how far your tricks can be chained.

4. Learn grinds separately: Approach the start of a rail, head-on (i.e. in the direction of the rail), give yourself about 5-7 metres to land an uncharged jump on it, and once you're near the apex of your jump or on the way down towards the rail, hold crouch and keep the rail center to your reticule. The earlier your board is perpendicular is to the rail (holding crouch), the easier it will be to guide your descent with the mouse so that the board will make contact with the rail.

5. Try charged jumps to land a grind, you'll gradually learn to not touch the A/D keys if you're going to perform tricks.

6. If you're feeling comfortable with grinds, now try performing jumps while grinding, and continuing the grind till the end of the rail.

7. Try charged jumps during a grind; by now you should be confident enough to start mixing various tricks into each jump. Or chaining rail to rail with your grinds and jump+trick combinations.

8. You probably want the points from all this; after each trick you manage to complete and wrap up, make sure you have a clear area to land with your current momentum and give it a few seconds to transact your points. Now you're good for another chain!
