same technique as a flat bar just may take a little longer to get the whole thing because your sliding a much narrower surface. if you can slide flat then all you have to do is work balance

This word has been said like 5 times above me, I looked it up on Dictionary.com and this is what it said:

13.to induce (a woman) to surrender her virginity; deflower.

Honestly how fucking nuts is that the context for that word has changed to much over time

I think he means this definition.

4. the downfall, decay, or destruction of anything.

same way, just make sure you commit. for example if you dont go full 90 on a flat bar it could be ok but it would probably be disasterous for a round bar. If you get it right you'll get a good locked on feeling.

but would you honestly say "the downfall of his skis" or the "decay" no you would use a different adjective

if you have trouble staying on just make sure your centered on the rail or even try going a little bit faster

Hey buddy, since your clearly mad pro and far too good to bother helping someone whos just starting park, then your clearly also far too good to post in the thread of a "noob" like me. So with my deepest sympathy, im going to have to ask you to FUCK OFF.

Anyways...yeah thanks for the help from the rest of you guys.
