there is this 40 something stair urban rail in my town but it is made of wood, probably about 6 inches wide.. is it really easy to catch an edge or is it like a normal rail?

Wood is soft and yes, you catch edges easily on it. If your serious about hitting it wax it like crazy and dont lean forwarfd or you willl catch an edge and it will hurt, ALOT.

I think thats right because its frozen and a little more solid. You should wait till its really cold.

If your asking that question you shouldn't probably be doing it. If you been skiing rails and have a good enough experience for a 40 set then you should have encountered wood rails with that experience

get a old pair of skis and dull the edges or simply knock out the edges and then you will have no problems.

think of how fast you would slide on ice... way faster than any rail.. and by the time you make it to the bottom of a 40 ft staircase you would just crumple on the flat landing
