rail trick

[robtom123]

at my local indoor there is a flat bar sorta high but not really high or really low and i can feeble on it fine but just wondering tips on how to whip out of it it is a board slide that im doing i think as if you go to do a feeble but your deck slides and bs so tips on how to whip out

Well, if it's a boardslide, then it's gonna be weird at first. You're gonna wanna jump off the rail before the end and kick the whip as you get away from the rail so you don't catch. After that just straighten out your body and stomp that. It'd be a lot easier if you knew them on like a driveway flatbar that's just above ankle height.

The landing is a lot easier if you catch your whip.

i nearly always catch my whip on everything so i dont think thats a problem

@mikeyg

is 10 inches tall relitavly high for a flatbar or one of the smaller ones could you take a picture and show me yours?

Mines 8 inches, its like just up my calf. a high flatbar is like 12-16 inches.
If you don't mind jumping a bit, i'd say go with the 10, if you want it to be super easy to learn grinds and tricks out of them make it like a 6 or 8.
