  1. sounds like a dumb question, but im determined to grind a handrail. i
    cant hop quite high enough so i might jump off a crate or something.
    but i was just wondering, are rails really that hard, and how many of
    you can do them?

  2. my first handrail was a 5 set, the set up was perfect, and the rail was
    sweet too, so i nailed it on my first shot i think. i dont think theyre
    that hard, you just have to try hard enough. if you think you can do,
    you probably can.

  4. Rails are easy, working up the courage to try, can be hard lol. Going
    for it is the hardest part. My first was a 4 set....the most I have
    done is 2 different 8 sets. How big of a set are you going for, you got
    a specific rail in mind? Does it have a kink?

    KH.

  5. How do you guys lean forward enough to do a rail on a stair set. I can
    do rails on flat fine but If I try a sloped one even just a little bit
    I can't do it.

  6. I've been wondering bout this myself lately. Ledges and stuff seem ok as
    grinding pedal and crank seems much more solid and easy but all rail
    grinds seem to be done just on pedal and I find that really hard to
    keep balance on.
    There is a round sloped rail at the local skatepark and I find it quite
    scary to commit to the grind but also when I at least try it is very
    hard to keep balance on just the pedal.

  7. most rails are hard... I mean a soft rail is likely to bend...😄
    rails are hard to hit.

    To start, try and find a lower rail, so its easier to jump on. If you
    can commit and just get on the rail, then you should land it.
    (hopefully)

    I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
    unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
    the dioflip
