yeaaaa...i think the fact that i suck at rails makes people who kill them even more impressive, like mr. mckeen<3

i guess ill give whatever tips i have htough, make sure its a rail you can acctually bunnhop high enough to get on top of, and make sure it slides good so that when you get on top of it you wont stick, wax it if it doesnt slide good, and lean forward

first make sure you can grind rails with no slope real well. start on square rails that are close to the ground and work up to regular height square handrails, do em over stairs, then start the same process with circle rails. also lean forward and match the angle of your scooter to the angle of the rail, as u should anytime your grinding. it takes balls to try them and its hella scary the first times but its really not that hard to jump off if something starts going wrong. just work your way up to them.

well i remeber my first ryan whetstone told be to bonless on to it until i get the feel of the rail and once your used to it when u go for it pretend your trying to jump over it but u end up grinding it. cause some kids do hand rails but they dont get on top of it so it just looks mad ugly when they just grind the side of it


and it doesnt take balls to learn them once you get your first handrail there not scary at all anymore


i learned from the *best*

i can grind decent sized ledges now like 12" ish and like 6" rails, but handrails are hard
