the dismount
Mar 30, 2007 by Tank

alright so theres this 10 stair at my high school and its a pretty steep slope and everytime i make it to the bottom i land and roll but on like the holiday video there doing huge rails and it looks like there just walking away sometimes, so how do you do it, land both feet and run or as you come off the rail start running through the air, im just getting tired of my back rolling across asphalt thanks.

hm, i think it depends how fast your going when your on the rail, like if your going at a crazy speed you probably have to roll.

but i aint too sure about the best way to dismount. ;x

how are you jumping off the rail?

i just grind the thing but im comming off so fast i cant run it out so i end up rolling.

You should roll cause its better for your knees, but if you don't wana then try this technique http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/fundamentals/landing/index.htm

Dude, if you need to roll,...roll. Dunt risk smashing your knees or your legs. If the 10 set is really that extreme, then maybe you SHOULD be rolling the way you do now

If you were blading, you would be expected to ride away, but with Soapshoes, if its too intense, dunt stress it

sorry for the 3rd consecutive comment, i clicked COMMENT without adding this...

If you are really that willing to land on ur feet....i would suggest braking on the rail near the middle, end, or near-end so that it isnt so much more of an impact on your legs/knees

The Relate crew brake on every single grind down a stair set; it's the only way to control your speed. If you can royale yet, really torque over on your back foot and brake along the outside of the shoe, and that should slow you down enough so that you can control your dismount
