French term (edited):
grinder vos premières marches
take your first steps
"Pas cher, et de bonne qualité, il vous permettra de rentrer vos premiers hollies et de grinder vos premières marches…"
=
"Not expensive, and of good quality, it will allow you to ...... and take your first steps".
I am pretty sure that "grinder" must be slang for "prendre" here. I have never come across the term myself, but it makes sense translating it as "take" in this case.

| Sounds good Chris. Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was slang for slider sports; about which I know zilch. |

do your first handrail grind
Grinding is the performing of a trick called a "grind" in various sports. In skateboarding, a grind is performed when skidding the trucks (axles) against a surface, in this case a handrail.

Skateboarders don't actually 'grind' on the steps but on the rail. Here's a link to a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIWBgd26zXA

grinds and grinding
Grinds are a form of skateboarding trick where the skateboarder slides on the hangers of the trucks. Grinds are performed on any object that may fit between the space between the wheels where the truck meets. Grind rails are also sold commercially.
