  1. Tonight I successfully grinded my first handrail. It was only a 3 stair
    rail but it was still really really fun. I plan on looking for a 5
    stair rail soon hopefully I'll find someone to film it and get a clip up
    on here. I seem to be progressing pretty fast in my riding since I've
    only been at it about 3 monthes now. I think it's mostly because I see
    everyones videos on here and it makes me want to push myself more and
    more everytime I ride. Thanks guys!

  4. welcome to the dark side.

    That is insane for only three months of riding. How many tries did it
    take you?

    If you think 3 step rails are fun, wait till they get big. Grinding
    handrails is the most dangerous, difficult, and rewarding thing i have
    gotten out of unicycling.

    good luck on the search for a five.

  5. Hello.
    I agree with Mike (onetrack). Handrails are probably the most terrifying
    thing to throw yourself at when street riding because you HAVE to commit
    or you will get hurt. Any other trick, you can just kick the uni away.
    Landing a big handrail is to most satisfying feeling I've gotten so far
    I think. And for 3 months, you're a nut. How old are you anyways, and
    are you going to get like right into street? Cause streets really the
    only way to go. Good luck on that 5 too!

  7. it took me quite a few tries I kept hitting my pedal under the rail at
    first then I keep landing and not going anywhere I just couldn't get the
    pedals around. Yeah I'm going staright into street riding I can't
    really see myself doing anything else from my bmx and skating
    background. I've been skating hand rails for so long I think it's made
    not as scared as I should be of them. I never thought I'd be this
    excited about a 3 stair rail after sessioning rails around 20 steps
    while skating. Oh yeah and I'm 22. I'm down to ride anytime this
    summer.
