I plan to go on an urban mission this winter and was wondering if the rail you want to hit is sticky or super slick what do you?  i was thinking wax for sticky but is there anything you can do for slick?

whit the edges of your skis, by rubbing the edge of your ski on the paint making it chip away
think before asking questions

sorry man  
I'm obviously not as experienced with you..
IIm also sorry i asked for help in this help forum...
I guess if i thought about it first... i still wouldn't have guessed putting my skiis on the rail...i wouldve guessed like sand paper or a file...  But i guess its common sense  i apologize

Although it is an obvious possibility to chip off paint with a ski that was a pretty jackass snap, not going to get you a good rep in this cult.

hah alex first, get these guys' cock out of your mouth. I was just trying to point out that if he wants to have a legit reputation as somebody to come to with help, its probably not best to snap with things like "think before asking questions" or people will hesitate to ask questions and then this cult will quickly turn to poop.

a file works good too, specially on sticky rail. some of them are old or rusted . also , some rails have imperfections , such has bumps , joints , welding joints etc , you can smooth them down whit a file .
sorry bpcrazy , sometimes i answer those question late after a session ,so im pretty tired. didnt want to go down on you like that . sometimes questions seems obvious for me and not for some people .
keep your questions coming ...
