  2. are you on a uni, bike, rollerblades, snowboard, skateboard, skis? I
    would think unicycle, so: square and the width of your pedal.

  4. I vote round.

    round ones are easier for me because you can angle yourselves.

  5. but wouldnt you be more steady on a square rail. on a round rail it
    would be eisier to slide off right?

  6. Square rail if you are going to be grinding on your crank. But round if
    you want to grind on your pedal.

  8. I guess you could use just pedal on a square rail but like Mornish said
    you can angle yourself more with a round rail.

    make a round one.

    They feel way better for pedal grinds, which you shoudl be doing
    anyway./

  14. Square is much easier when you're first learning, at the very least.
