setting sprocket to rail without having a disaster....how to?

[dudski]

Pun-intended.

Last season I learnt how to sprocket stall "Jersey" barriers and park benches. I now want to learn how to do them on hand rails. The part about doing this that freaks me out is landing on the rail and having my bike slip out from under me and falling onto the rail with my body. Any advice on doing rail-sprockets without having alot of pain involved....and is it any different to hop out of rails then it is to benches or "Jersey" barriers?

-thanks

put your sprocket on the rail and then stall

your pun is fucking stupid cuz a disaster is a 180 to sprocket so really it has nothing to do w/ what your trying to learn. o and stop being such a bitch

haha yea ive found the best way you can learn anything is to just suck it up, go for it, be ready for the worst but think about the landing it.

end yourself...there's no place for you on this planet.

and for the sprocket stall, just commit to it and you'll probaly get it down quickly enough.

Basically just go for it, just make sure you look at the rail when your stalling (i dont know where else you would look anyways), but look at it, if the bike slips out, bail off. Before you attempt the trick look for a good way to bail out. If you fall try to grab the rail with your hands, and land with your feet on the ground. Your bike will be gone at this point so don't worry about tryig to catch it or anything like that. When I was learning to pedal grind handrails I fell on them a few times and unless you land straddling it (in which case you will never have children) it actually doesnt hurt as much as it looks like it would.

don't listen to those guys just boost on to the rail and if are falling jump on to the ground no need to catch on the rail it's not like your sliding it and i think you'll find that sproket stalling a rail is easier than a barrier cause the rail normaly has some pop

Glue? :lol: just try to get it to settle between your sproket and chainstay where it creates somewhat of a groove.
