URBAN RAIL MAP

I'm starting an urban rail map for posting locations of urban rails, drops, or anything you can hit on skis.  Check out the map at http://www.flickr.com/map/?q=urbanrails

You can view all the rails by scrolling through the images at the bottom of the map.

If you only want to see rails in a certain location just zoom in and click refresh Click for larger image at the bottom of the map.


ADDING RAILS TO THE MAP:
1. Make a Flickr account.  Go to http://www.flickr.com/signup/ You'll need a Yahoo account to use Flickr, if you don't have one click Sign Up at the bottom of the page.

2. Upload your photos.  Make sure the privacy level is set to public so anyone can view them.

3. Tag all your photos with "urbanrails".  Click Organize, then Select All at the bottom of the page and drag the photo's into the edit window, click Add Tags at the top to tag them with "urbanrails".  Make sure it is exactly this tag or they won't show up on the map.

4. Set their geo-location on the map.  Click the arrow next to "Organize" and click "Your Map", then just drag the photos onto the map and it sets the location.

5. Check the map at http://www.flickr.com/map/?q=urbanrails to make sure it worked.

Yeah ok kid, all I was really tryin to say is no one is going to tell you where their legit urban is and it turned into some other shit so don't worry about it, i could care less if it happens but its not going to help people find sick rails, its gonna help people find played rails. If thats not a problem for you then cool, but i was just making a side comment and it blew up.

Haha, I'll still put in some rails that will never be hit anyway because of their location. Nice dfdf + next to major insection=no way you won't get busted. This is somewhat a good idea, there's spots that I know I won't hit that I might post up, but no way am I posting good, unknown rails.

i think when it comes to urban rails the more the merrier. hitting rails with a bunch of people is fun and it pushes you to do better when you have competition.

ummm sorry to break it to you but Evan is right about this one. Giving away locations so everyone can go hit it sill blow up locations because they will get noticed and will make the spots impossible to hit like some are already.

And honestly, it will ruin ski movies. Do you really want every ski movie to have the same rails? Tricks will end up getting repeated and seeing the same rail over and over again in every movie will just get old.

the problem with all these kids running around getting buck-wild on rails is their lack of understanding of urban etiquette. I learned it the hard way when someone much more seasoned than myself explained that you have to be respectful. Don't leave trash lying around the rail, try not to permanently alter the area (sometimes it's unavoidable in order to hit the rail but do it in the least damaging way possible), and if you get busted, don't give the cops or security any shit-they're doing their job and you will be able to tell from the first word they say if they're gonna boot you or let you stay. If they ask you to leave, do it, and come back for a different shift.
It only takes one kid being a douche to an equally douchy security guard to get skate-stops welded on to the rail.

Wow numerous rails have been knobbed due to over use. I had no idea. So if you subtract those 5 that have been knobbed that leaves us with, uhm, only a couple million hand rail left in the united states. People, please don't post pictures on this map! The number of rails left is declining faster than you know!

hes not really mad perhaps a little negative but who really guves a fuck he just has his opinion about this and skipped all the bull shit and said what he thought

I honestly wouldn't give away any locations. Finding a lagit urban is half the fun... and the countless other reasons that have been said already

some are, some arent. usually they're strips of metal welded to the top of the rail that USUALLY prevent you from hitting it. I just used skate stops as an example, but another example of getting an actual location busted is the security/people around the rail will skip the whole confronting you part, and just call the cops on you. Generally the cops don't see what you're doing as a good thing

5 rails really? Your a fucking idiot. Go look around your town. I promise you will see a bunch of rails with knobs on them. Why is that? Because people saw skateboarders hitting it and they wanted to prevent it. A perfect example of how this map is horrible is Rail Gardens in Utah. There has been so many kids that film those rails nothing new is being done on them. Also the rails are getting broken because so many people hit them.

Good proof: just stop talking. Eheath has nothing to prove... you do.. no one goes on NS trying to pick fights or posting up their max bench pressing stats.

Seriously, i couldn't stop laughing while i read that entire post. Read it outloud to yourself and you'll realize how stupid you sound.

Go back to myspace, or 4chan, or wherever you came from.

first of all i have been a part of this site longer then you so you dont got a right tellin me to leave, second i can almost guarentee i ski better then you, and the reason i said that shit is bc ppl callin' me out sayin i dont got shit. imma post that video up and u can feel stupid. And im not even close to the being the only person who thinks that the majority of his posts are pointless, and negative.

Sure, eheath made a negative post, but come on, he made a valid point. Don't you realize that literally trying to pick fights with people is much more negative than just stating an opinion?

Do you feel like you need to validate yourself that much? "I'm an mma fighter, i'm jacked. Oh I'll destroy you at skiing." People come on NS to have a good time and talk about skiing, not to make everything a competition.

Go ahead and post a video of yourself fighting, i won't feel stupid. If anyone should feel stupid, it's you. Seriously, look at your posts, you're more hateful than anyone else in this thread. Besides that, since you ski, i'm sure you can afford to get to high school everyday. Please, from now on, pay attention in class so you can sound a little more educated.

For the record: I've been here since 06....you haven't...bummer.

This entire post contridicts itself, and my original post had nothing to do with his opinions on the original thread creators idea, it was for all of the negative thing he says, almost everything he says is negative how is that contributing to the site? by putting down others he is somehow bettering ns? And in no way am i claiming to be some super bad ass crazy fighter, im just saying i can hold my own against an overweight bitch.

i guarantee i know the most legit spot of anybody here:

Near downtown Denver:

You crawl through a iron bar fence and walk about 1/4 mile through a suage tunnel about 5 feet high. You exit onto a pad of concrete about 40 feet wide and 90 feet long. through the middle, there is a 10 ft wide river. On either side, there are graffiti-covered walls slanting outwards (perfect for wallrides). A rail has been cemented in. On top of the left wall, there is a ledge about 7 feet wide.

We tow in with a minibike and either:
Hit the wallride
Hit the rail
And once when there was about 2.5 feet of snow we hauled ass in from the tunnel and had a gap jump over the river and up onto the ledge of the left wall like a step-up.

The graffiti is legit too. Its art, not tags (murals of joint-toting smurfs fighting ...etc)

I just flew to Denver hit your rail all night. Got caught. And now your rail is nubbed and your wall ride imploded. Sorry. I guess you should have taken all the smart kids advice and not posted your secret spot in here.
