I can grind ledges and square park-rails (flat and sloped) pretty easily, and am wanting to try a round rail. i have found a pretty low one at a skate park near me, but as yet i havent had the guts to try it. is this a mind over matter thing like lots of unicycling tricks, or are round rails much harder? If the latter, does anyone have any tips?
depending on how high you can jump i say find a 3 set with a handrail and just kiss it quick. I almost tried a 5 set witch would have been a proper grind but there was sick near the run up...

I can't grind yet, but im pretty good with my stalls\grabs.
I first started doing my crank\pedal grabs on flat object, but then when I went to do them on curved surfaces, I thought it would be harder cause it is curved but I jumped on it just fine, with no problems.
So my advice is to just go for it, you may wreck a few times, but when have we let a wreck keep us down?

the rail i wanna try is low and long (about 50-60cm i think). it is at a skate park. do you think i should find a shorter one? even if it means going higher (i can hop up a 70cm ledge)?
well since you have "balls of steel" as your message under your avatar states i reckon you should go for it. :p i can do flat grinds aswell but since my uni is out of order :eek: at the moment i dont wanna try a round rail anytime soon....
As max said its just getiin the balls to go for it. I found a 3 set handrail and did it (with amanda's "encoragement"😉. I was lookin at a rail very similer at a park but i couldnt go for it. Height should not be a problem.
