^^good luck, aluminum is sooo soft, your steel edges will dig right in. IF you went on a cold day you would probably slide faster tho because aluminum is a better bearing material then steel.

I did an urban rail 3 to 4 years ago in front of our courthouse in town at night. Aluminum doesnt slide very good and after grinding them they put off a wierd smell.

oh man fuck aluminum.. my friend jordan and i hit the most perfect, mellow 8 kink in the world last year and werent aware of the effects of aluminum... he went first and went head over heels at the first kink. he was like DUDE you CANT slide this shit. but i thought he was just being a pussy and told him so and dropped. i skidded thru 3 kinks before nose divinginto the concrete stairs...shit is absolutely impossible to slide with edges. when i rip the edges out of my beat up tm's i think im gonna go back..i think that will work

maybe you should cover the rail in butter for a slicker sliding surface plus you could tell all your friends that you slid an aluminum rail covered in butter.come on now what would be cooler than that. oh and the whole pam thing is just a gay idea so dont do that
