for normal people a flat bar.... I am wierd and the skinnier and rounder the rail, the easier it is.

yea well that kinda is same for me well it depends... like its easier to stay on a flat bar if u get on it perfectly balanced but on a round rail its easy to balance and level out which can make it easier to get to the end... thats for me anyways. i dont know if what i said is clear but i get it.

lawl i hate when that happens.

also to the op, if you have ever done either its pretty damn obvious. (although it does depend on the width of each)

Round rails are way way way easier for me. It's so much easier to lock on and set edges for spins/switch ups. Actually that's more just for down rails, a nice flat flat bar is a lot funner than a flat round rail,

flat boxes=easier to slide on/learn on

round rails=harder to slide on but easier to pull of your trick depending on the trick itself

Really fat round rails are the best of anything. Keystone has a couple and they are pure sex

I like this thread...
Seriously though my mountain is getting a lift tower and 90 percent sure we are getting a skull candy round pipe, but i have never rode anything that big before, is there much of a difference? or am i going to glide across it like any other hand rail or flat bar that i usually hit

flats are way easier, but circles can be really fun. it really just depends on the size of the rail.

IMO those kind of rails are the most fun rails to hit, and its the same as any other rail, except maybe even easier
