if ur good at regular rails than a sooden rail shouldn't be any different. however if you aren't toally comfortable than they are risky cuz they are just less forgiving if you make a mistake

Don't wax it because the people who own the rail might get mad and shoot you. The wooden rail in my profile was not smooth at all and had nails sticking up and everything...you'll bounce right over them. Or rip an edge out. It depends. Yeah, just keep your front outside edge up a little and you'll be fine...it's just like any other rail.

Make sure it is really cold, like I skied a wood handrail, no wax, but it was mid winter and there was like 1/4 inch of light snow on it...
