Well if you are just learning how to grind no sense in spending stupid $$ on those rails...just make a PVC rail that is like 1 foot off the ground so you are nut free...and make it like 15 feet so that way you can go off early until you get better...

dont buy a rail that isnt over 10ft long. and even that is short. trust me. when your skiing on a rail that short, you will pretty much tap it and fall off.

deffinatly go with a long rail. my dad works in the ski school at mt snow and gives private lessons and teaches kids how to slide rails. he doesn't take them to a 6 ft long rail. he takes them to a long one that low off the graound. that you can get better and better. l

as everyone already said they suck. the first one is too pussy because you dont needa jump, the second one sucks because its square and is too short and the last one is probably the best but that sucks aswell.

For skiing, 6 feet is way too short. 12 feet comes and goes pretty fast. Go for 20.

You have to realize how short 6ft is. Just lie down and thats close to it. You need something that is a minimum 15ft long to learn how to grind so that you get the feeling of locked in. With a 6ft you proabbly gap half of it and tap and off. Build your own. You have the whole summer to do it anyway. Chances are it will be cheaper and way better for learning. Single round bar rails are harder to learn on that if you were to use two or three pvc pipes.
