(all have 0 incline)
k i will do a poll. i seemed to get some controversy in the replies and thats not what i wanted. i figured a rail with no incline is best to learn on right? oh and how high should i make it?

I learned on an inclined rail.
With a flat rail, you need momentum to grind for any distance. With an inclined rail, gravity will take you down the rail... no momentum is required... all you have to do is get on the rail.
As for height, keep in mind the higher you make the rail the higher you'll have to jump to get onto the rail... and jumping tends to rob one of their forward momentum.

I agree with maestro, a slightly inclined rail is easier than a flat rail...my friend learned to grind by simply setting the unicycle on an inclined rail, then stepping on and sliding down.
