  3. I am pretty sure he didnt mean to 180 out, i think he just slipped out.
    In the origional thread when they posted that movie i think that simon
    said andreas slipped.
    I have seen a 180 into a handrail but not out.

  6. it is possible, i think a few people can... its a lot harder to do on
    round rails, i find it easier to spin out backside cos that my natural
    spin way. but its basically drop off the rail and twist as quick as you
    can (kinda like andreas's but with a full 180 haha). i dont really hop
    off, if you try and hop off, mostly round rails you will end up locking
    up. fat and flat rails are good to try first.

  8. Yo,

    I've 180'd outta 2 different rails, one at our skatepark here, and one
    street rail, that was a 4 set. You just gotta pop onto the rail and
    possesion your body right away to spin, so when you get to the end you
    can whip the 180 land and ride out. It's hard stuff, and i haven't done
    it lately, but it's all in the enterence of the rail. No horrible falls
    yet. haha, laters

  10. tricks out of grinds on ledges are a lot easier than tricks out of grind
    on handrails

  11. I've successfully spun myself around for a 180 out at my skateparks
    small flat rail, but I couldn't keep my balance enough to come even
    close to riding away. Still the point is I'm real bad at rails and
    managed to do a cruddy attempt at it, so someone who is competent on
    rails could for sure.

    not handrails.

    -well its pretty much the same thing just a little easier-

    Not quite the same thing.
    I'll use my artistic abilities to explain:

    Code:
    --------------------

    ____
    |
    | <---legde
    ____|____ it's flat, so I stay on

    O
    --|-- <--- me after grinding ledge
    |
    / \

    --------------------

    Code:
    --------------------

    __
    / \ <--- handrail
    \__/ it's round, I fall off

    Quoted message said:

    -<O <--- me after I fall off.


    I'm dead.

    --------------------

    see, It's not quite the same.
