The
rail is divided in three(3) parts when using it
as an actual kink rail, it's the upper level,
the 4ft 3/4" transition and the lower level.
It's a 16 gauge steel rail, and it can hold up
to 220 lbs., which is good and it SHOULD ONLY
BE USED WITH INLINES AND SKATEBOARDS. That
rail it self is around 20 lbs. or something around
the weight. It has anti-slip pads on the bottom
so the rail doesn't slide when you are sliding.
and it has 3 settings each with a 2 inch height
difference. The lower level can be up to 6 inches
and upper leve up to 12 inches.
My
experience with this rail was an ok one, I still
have the rail and I must say it's a pretty good
rail but not enough for my needs I must say, yes
I still use it but not as much as I use the other
ones. To use the rail as a flat rail you need
this special plastic thing it has and I must say
it was a rip I broke it trying to frontside lipslide
(which I still can't do) so I know must use the
kinked version of the rail. I must say the kink
transition is fun which gets a hard to adjust
to. Well now to the real review.
The
rail is good but if you are first time rail buyer
I wont recommend this rail to you, I'll give 3
reasons:
1.
It's a round rail, that means that it's a circle
so it's hard to do the tricks one. The means you'll
have to use more effort onto landing the tricks
because you'll have to improve your balance and
square rails are easier. The good part is you'll
learn how to balance best which will help you
out in the future when you are ready to hit hand
rails.
2. The kink well when you first see the
rail you are like "I can do that" Well
you can't! It takes time and it's pretty hard
to get use to it. Good point you'll be ready for
handrails since they go down.
3. Height, Well it's either to tall or
to low so take a guess.
Then
if you are a more experienced grinder(lets call
people that) then that rail is for you and make
sure you register it because to make it a flat
rail you need the plastic part which is breakable!
Well this rail is around $50 and it's pretty good
I never found it in a store so I had to buy it
online which made the rail $90 but it's worth
it. So I wont give you detailed e-tailers so go
to www.factorx.com and check their stuff out (some
is good).
I
give this rail 10/10. Which is a little
overrated but it's a great rail you should get
it!
