OMG!! I found my possible next stunt!!
Jan 18, 2007 by SapAuthor

I was walking on my collage campus, and there it was...a stair rail leading down a level, VERY long (probably 70 ft+) with a nice angle and sloped soft sides on either side (it's a ramp instead of stairs, at least i think so, it was covered in snow). It has a 1.75 inch square rail, but my size 13 plates can attach to it, hopefully soon i'll get hte royale down and go down it with a royale :D

You should be able to get the Royale down relatively fast since you've been Soaping for awhile. Just keep the phone ready to dial 911 if something goes wrong.

lol thanks for the words, they make me feel safer -.-' But first i got to work on my royale, meaning get my PVC cut in half so i can keep practicing. But eitherway, it's snow on either side, so shouldn't hurt too much if i fall. May be a while before i get enough time to get it, but eventually i will ;)

Yeah. You have to always know about that risk but trust me, it hurts less when you know it might happen. Not to mention it keeps your passion alive but it'll scare you a bit. Ever see the pic of my ankle. Going backside on my practice rail while it was slanted did that. But keep working on that royale, they look sick on slanted rails.

That 70 footer sounds crazy....the longest rail i did was about 55 ft

royales on square rails are nuts... especially if the rail is 70 feet long. I want to see this shit landed.

I know exactly what Ryan's talking about. My practice rail is square and not only do square rails look nice when Royaled on but you definately get a feeling of extra balence.

Has anyone played Sonic Heroes? When grinding you press the B button(or X depending on system) Sonic does a 180 on the rail. I have seen something similar in one of the SOAP videos.

Wow... First of all that had NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TOPIC, second it's called a switch up, been around for awhile, and third, THIS IS NOT A SONIC FORUM FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Kinda harsh, but i couldnt have put it better myself.....dude, if ur gonna talk Sonic, go to a Sonic forum


If you wanna talk grind, then this is the place for it

I know that, I forgot to add this:

If you seen how it is done, then it would be awesome if you tried it. (The switch up)

Jan 19, 2007AnthoFlex

Switch ups do look cool.....personally, i find switch ups kinda hard, but if you keep a higher state of mind and concentrate, you can do it

I'll try to snap a picture for you guys l8r at school. This may take a wihle to build up the skill and balls to do this though, but eventually i think i can get it.

As for the switchup, i tried it and my feet flew out and i got mad road rash at hte skatepark back in tampa. The reason why you screw up easy is because in order to get the spin, you usually have to bring your feet in (just like you have to bring ur arms in, helps you spin faster), but then when you land if you didn't bring your feet back out in that split second, your feet will fly out. Secret is to try to use ur arms only, or to be really fast adn get ur feet shoulder width + apart.

what i do is i turn my body to the side that im going to spin to....then concentrate and then just do it
