  2. bluntslides... jump over the rail and grind on your blind pedal... or
    come up to it blind and grind on your normal pedal.

  4. I cant do anything on a rail other than a normal grind but i think if
    the rail is high enough a seat whip would be cool. Maybe a crankflip
    into one, i havent seen that yet.

  5. We just had this conversation. haha. That's rad. Crankflip into a rail
    would be sick. Tomsey I didn't know that you could blind slide rails.
    Let alone blunt to blind. Crazy. I guess another thing one could add is
    backslide rails. That's all I can say. ha, laters

  6. dude, so are you saying you can blunt and trick out, on a rail?

    yeah, i havent done it on any handrails, just park rails... but i dont
    think its too far away. blind blunts are kinda easier to get over the
    rail but harder to stay on.
    another cool one would be alley-oop backslide. i cant do them even on
    ledges, but its there to try. if tricking out of bluntslides doesnt
    pose enough of a challenge for ya

    lots of skater terms have been appropriated into street. you really
    need to see them to know how these tricks are done... and to know whats
    still possible.

  9. Yo,
    Agreeable that it kinda has to be seen to understand...

    Quote "dude, so are you saying you can blunt and trick out, on a
    rail?"

    Nah, I'm more of a tech ledge grinder, that just got into tech rails.
    (If this question is posed at me, i'm not sure, i'm answering it
    anyway, lol) I've blunt slide a park rail, haven't found street rails
    yet, they're all too high to pop over to slide. BluntBlind would be
    easier to jump over to slide, but i agree harder to slide. This I
    haven't done on a ledge yet. Allie oop backslide. I'm guess blunt to
    backslide. That'd be sick, never tried that either. I'm looking for
    some killer one foots in backslides, and 180 flips to backslides.
    That's what I want next. More backslide stuff, kinda young. Laters

  10. Are you guys talking about handrails like down stairs or rails that
    aren't down stairs that are just flat? If your talking about actual
    hand rails i've almost landed; 180 out, full rev out, tire grab out,
    and levitator. If you're talking about flat rails i've done eveything
    on those that i can do on leges.

  11. OK, i've been thinking bout this for a while, any chance of this
    working?

    Ride up, jump to grind on your good side, let's say the rail is on your
    right. Basically the trick is to turn around while grinding, so you end
    up going backwards. As you're going along, you jam the front of your
    tyre in to the rail and bring the back round to the left. As the back
    swings out your grinding crank will come off the rail so you're going
    to need to put a little hop or something in, cos for a very short time
    you won't be resting on anything. Keep rotating until your left crank
    catches on the rail and you end up once again parallel to the rail, but
    now facing backwards, and you grind out backwards so your direction
    never changes. Does that make sense?

    I have a rail thats 12" high and when i grind it, i have to do a rev in
    the air so my tire doesnt touch the ground. How can you grind a rail
    thats less than 1 foot? thats almost even with your crank.

    dude, just go to a skate shop. they usually have one in stock, if they
    donnt most shops have catalogs or something like that that you can
    order, or just go on ebay.
    or you couldd just get a 2X4 peice of wood and bolt in on the legs of
    the rail. that what i did, it works fine unless you maid it too high
