so i have really badly wanted to slide this one rail at my old school. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.966214,-77.068594,3a,78.7y,51.58h,75.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTIcmOGoxC8LHkXE4hvDwzg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1?hl=en it is the right rail on the right stairs directly in front of the school. this will be my first time urban skiing so tips and advice are extremely appreciated. what do you guys think should i do it or no? is it worth it or should wait until winter? btw I'm pretty new here and at freesking just so you know and if any of you live near here you are more than welcome to come and shred. just pm me for when I'm going to do it because I'm not sure of the date yet.

I dont think you should do it now. The heat il of our days will melt it within an hour. And our money hungry cops will ticket you within a second. However in the winter if you come at night it's completely empty. Also if your going to post such a local topic you should post it in the regionals. Seriously

Do you have a crew you roll with? Try splitting it with them to cut the price down on everybodys end.

It looks like you could cover the stair set above the one with the rail in snow and ski down that

Regarding speed you may be able to use the ledge behind for a drop in if you build a huge pile of snow out of it. Cant really tell how wide that walk path this. if its not too wide that'd be my approach.

Honestly, just wait til winter, you'll have a lot more success.

I can't wait to hit this at my school:
