Handrails

[issac p]

I know there was a thread on this before, but its gone now.
Does anybody have a few tips on handrails? I can get little taps on little 3 stair rails, but i wanna step up my game. My current approach is to just move up slowly, and to lean slightly forward once I get on the rail.
Any other tips?

1. find a big hand rail
2.go at it with a faster speed then nomal then lean back kinda as if your going to salad the rail
3.once you deck hits push your bars forward and start to lean forward.
4. getting off is pretty easy it just kinda happens

i know it has been said before but commit or you will die. make you sure you get on top of the rail too it makes it much easier.

thanks for the tips grant. im going to try a pretty good sized 6 stair rail this weekend, so i just wanted a few pointers.
and tyler, i've already eaten shit not committing to a handrail haha i got high enough, but i got scared and ditched my scooter. my scooter landed weird, and my nuts landed on my back wheel

forsure man just keep trying once you try jump on any handrail atleast once and get the feel for it its pretty easy to figure it out... on another note we should meet up and ride somtime.

its a round rail though. im thinking its not going to affect me too much?
i've icepicked the whole thing on my bike many times too. and it has like 8 feet of concrete, then it goes into grass that you can ride on.

^^ this and also make sure your deck is perfectly placed on the rail, also that the underside of the deck is flat for more control. Its great fun once you get the hang of them.
