I'd really love to see people riding handrails, Instead of just grinding them.

isnt that trials...
or maybe ride a hand rail to gap to grind onto another hand rail...
or grind up a hand rail, but that would take soo much speed...
they could be called grind ups...

I don't really think so, Street bmxers do it. I think a fast handrail ride is very street.

Up handrails, doesn't really work on a unicycle.

Kelly...

Wouldn't we all. I'm slowly moving up to six sets lol.

Ya i would like to see people riding rails more also. tonight my brother and i were at the skate park and i rode down a 5 stair (lowish and a small slope) handrail. I wish that more people would start working on rolling into riding rails also. it looks wicked awesome.

EDIT: also, crankflips down drops are very painful if you mess up... ...like i did tonight.

Does anybody hurt their feet alot riding street? I do, I seem to hurt my feet really really regularly. I have tried changing shoes, types of shoes, buying shoes built for impacts, buying shoes built for platform pedals, so far nothing has helped.

On big sets I hurt my feet, even the other day I randomly popped something in my left foot for some reason and I don't know how!

I can almost crankflip! Yeah i know pretty lame but I just tried to learn yesterday. I can get the flip mostly expecially on my friends LX. But I cant get my forward foot even close to the pedal. Ill eventually suck it up and just do it so im not really asking for help. Just something thats street that im trying.

Edit: its flip not spin. My bad.

I dont hurt my feet from doing drops, but actually from little drops. What happens when doing a crankflip, or anything along those lines, sometimes my front of my foot lands on the pedal, and that's a lot of force when you land, but because of my foot being so barely on the pedal, my foots slips, and like a stretched rubber band, gets slammed hard into the cement.

I broke my toe doing that...

the one thing i dont like about grinds is that there is only one grind, well a few if you count switch and backwards and things.

but all the variations involve doing things into grinds.

although Shaun does tricks while grinding, i surpose that can count as diffrent grinds....

i just talked my self out of that.

I think sidespin variations will get big soon, they look so much cooler then any other tricks.

I also think if you could tap a wall with your feet while side spinning it will look good.

bye bye Dale
