Handrails?

[thusman]

I really want to try a handrail sometime soon, does anyone have advice on how to do them?

 

[Stackies]

Just do it don't be scared and commit, Do the one at Santa clarita skatepark it's perfect.

 

[thusman]

The 6 stair one? And im im iowa right now on vacation and theres a three stretch with a perfect rail that i wanna try. But when i get back, i will definitely try the 6 stair rail.

 

[btyczki21]

just go for it...thats what i did.

 

[thusman]

Ok, do i needa go a certain speed or anything?

 

[btyczki21]

honestly the faster you go at first the easier it is, just dont go mach 10. then once you get good you can do them at a controlable and steezy speed.

 

[Tyler Rehard]

hit it slow

 

[BrandonWeir]

You can hit them fairly slow but the number one thing is to hop high and get centered over the rail.

 

[parrish]

it depends how long it is, if its short you need to be going slow because if you go too fast you just miss the rail completely, you also need to have a really solid hop/ollie, the slower you go the easier it will be to level out on the rail so go as slow as you can while still making it onto the rail

 

[ReeceJones]

go slow hop high and get on top of it

 

[allyscooterkid1998]

make sure you keep your balance when your on there too, i ate shit first time because i didnt

I have the problem of once I'm on the rail, I fly backwards.
I'm to the point where I can grind with one foot in the air the whole time, though. Rails are sketchy.

 

[BrandonWeir]

Lean forward more? I think that's you're problem I don't really understand what you're saying.

 

[dpnelson31]

I'll try that.
I hit the rail and just immediately fly backwards, head first into the ground unless I bail. Make more sense?

 

[KieranPeterson]

.....scare the shit outta me.

 

[dpnelson31]

.....scare the shit outta me.

They are soo sketchy. I'm scared but I commit anyway. Only landed one on a 4 stair.

 

[Can]

whenever someone does a rail, it looks like they are gonna fall off. thats why i haven't been attempting them lately.

Well, yeah.

 

[BenJelinek]

Lmao. But yeah pretty much go medium speed at first and then hit it as slow as you can while still making it on, cuz if you hit it fast it looks ugly as hell. Just lean a tiny bit forward, or youll slip back although thats never happened to me.
Its seriously all commintment, like the rail will look super scary, then, you hit it once, and even if you jump off or bail or whatever, the next try it will look 100x less menacing.

Yeah SCV skatepark has perfect handrails.
