atntheskater Posts : 1638 ONLINE	Posted on Apr 10, 2006 Flat rail for sure. Flat rails are easyer to learn new grinds on b/c your truck locks in whereas rounds you can slip off and eat it hard core, also its easier to find square steel big enough rather than round steel.

Adam Posts : 156 OFFLINE	Posted on Jul 27, 2006 I would agree with atn, square rails are better for beginners because you can lock in on them alot easier.

nickhallett Posts : 239 ONLINE	Posted on Aug 18, 2006 If you are new to grinding you hands down want a flat. You don't slip off during 50-50s and what not. Also your boardslides have a better balance on the rail. Round ones are nice if you want to go faster because they generally are more slick do to the fact they have no edge so your wheels don't slide against the rail as easy meaning less friction. I didn't think this was true but I have both flat and round rails and I definately can tell the difference.

YSCJason15 Posts : 7 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 11, 2006 for me i've always like round rails a lot more. I lock in just as easy on round rails as I do on flat rails.

laceyskatebo... Posts : 10 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 23, 2006 got to be flat rails round rails are for blader kids lol nah only joking flat rails are better though

Aqua_Teen_Hu... Posts : 48 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 23, 2006 Round rails for practicing before handrails. Square rails for practicing before round rails. [Edited by Aqua_Teen_Hunger_Force on 12/23/2006 at 5:14 PM]

atntheskater Posts : 1638 ONLINE	Posted on Jan 17, 2007 cause theres nothing for it to stick on learn flat, then round.

[Edited on 4/2/2006] there are new rails out now that morph they start out as round for when you get enough balls but you side the square bar over it . ex: slides on easy and stays on..keep an eye out for them..we couldnt wait so we got a metal worker to build use one..but then someone stole it Note:sorry for all the edits ...i just woke up [Edited by Mr.Whynot on 05/05/2007 at 7:59 AM] [Edited by Mr.Whynot on 05/05/2007 at 8:01 AM]

mrcw14 Posts : 91 ONLINE	Posted on Apr 13, 2008 both flat are easyier for anything including your trucks but round is easier for board slide or two small round bars beside eachother [Edited by mrcw14 on 4/13/2008 at 12:50 AM] i hate round rails now lol to many times bailing square/flat just feel good because you lock in [Edited by Mr.Whynot on 13/04/2008 at 9:58 AM]

Extremo Posts : 306 ONLINE	Posted on Nov 15, 2008 Round for boardslides. Square for grinds. But if you're more grind oriented i'd recommend a box. It was much easier to dial in my grinds on a box.

Mr.Whynot Posts : 223 ONLINE	Posted on Nov 17, 2008 boxes are safer when learning but slot you down flat are nice round are fast
