Grinds are a form of skateboarding trick where the skateboarder slides by grinding the metal between the wheels of the trucks on an obstacle. You can slide the skateboard deck on the obstacle too while in crooked grinds, like crooked-blunt slides. Grinds are performed on any object that the trucks contact with and slide on, but the wheels don't slide. Skateboarding moves have many names and combinations, but each trick has a unique name after you start enjoying them all. Slides, rather than grinds, are just performed using the deck and wheels.

Grinds are a form of skateboarding trick where the skateboarder slides by grinding the metal between the wheels of the trucks on an obstacle. You can slide the skateboard deck on the obstacle too while in crooked grinds, like crooked-blunt slides. Grinds are performed on any object that the trucks contact with and slide on, but the wheels don't slide. Skateboarding moves have many names and combinations, but each trick has a unique name after you start enjoying them all. Slides, rather than grinds, are just performed using the deck and wheels.

The move likely originated in backyard pools, as the early skaters gained in skill and confidence with their high speed carves around the top of the pool walls and one day went that little bit too high. The trucks of the time, often being merely 'borrowed' rollerskate trucks, didn't allow much contact due to their inherent narrowness, but as skateboarding gained its own truck manufacturers who widened the hanger design, the possibilities for exploration became apparent, and all sorts of moves started popping up. Nowadays they are commonly performed on handrails or on the lips of objects such as benches, but any suitably hard, smooth edge will do.
