Well I was in Minneapolis Minnesota for a tournament and I found two AMAZING hand rails. They are in Powderhorn Park Community Center.

Rail #1

Rail #2

If you live in the Minneapolis area or are willing to visit the Minneapolis area you need to check out these handrails. If you do attempt them make a video and post that shit. I am done here, now go do work.

2 doesn't look any harder than 1.  Don't let the 'its a down rail and the other one has kinks!' fool you.  Rail 1 is much longer, steeper, and if you eat shit it will hurt a hell of a lot more.  The only difficult part of rail 2 is the side kink, but after a few trys you'd realize sidekinks arent as bad as you think!

this guy is right. elbows are easy if they're mellow enough and the one in the picture doesnt even look like you'd have to hop through it.

truth, the only problem i see with the second one is that it looks really small... i don't think it would be that hard to slide though.

rail 1 looks so scary. you get on it and by the end you are going a million mile an hour... unless you slip off early and catch your tip on the rail and eat shit going that fast. i would rather try the other one any day...not that i would do that one either

The long flat at the end is cool, if you grease the top you got the end.
