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.

Yeah pretty much anything bigger than a 6 set tends to cause discomfort. Occasionaly I tend to slam down though when I jump oddly angled sets, but thas my problem.

Also sometimes if I land 180's poorly I hurt my feet aswell.

Do you make sure to roll out the instant you hit the ground?
Also, put the arch of your foot over the pedal instead of the ball of your foot, if you're not already, it provides more support.

I really liked your video! Nice to see girls riding street!

Are there any other female street riders?

Just so people don't think I'm some creepy boy looking for all the girl riders, I'd like to point out that I'm a girl looking to eventually do street. Just seeing if there are more out there...
