Practicing new things that way, in a safe way and out of strangers eyes, can be very very helpful when you're a beginner. The park isn't always a friendly place for noobs, specially on rollerblades, and if you're shy like me... 😓

I learned almost everything by putting a p-rail in a hall way. I could do stalls and had a wall on either side to hold onto, and it made my balance 10x better. My friends would start getting jealous that I could slide further, and had smoother switch ups than any of them. I tried to share this method, but they didn't want to train. This and the chair method builds up great muscle memory..... I also had an old coffee table to practice leges, but my mom wasn't so happy about that back in the day.

I've been doing this all winter and it really helps find your center. Thanks for the video

balance practicing on a fascia roll works also pretty well. just stand on it, hold the balance, make onefooters, turn the feets on every possible site, make grabs etc helps me a lot for stability in park later. Slack lining the same, perfect for balance muscles.

I used to do this but I put the rail up higher so I had to jump on. I'd watch a skate video and then mimic the tricks on-screen. It helped with switch-ups and balance like you said.

That ... is one of the most useful videos I didn’t know I needed 😮🙌🔥🔥🔥

Oh my word, what an awesome video! This is just what I need. I've tried static balancing like this on a box at the skate park but is way more tricky. I've got a p-rail so I'll be practicing this! Thank you!!

Nice to hear the shoutout to Ricardo! I was subscribed to him originally and ended up here :) Got my new skates from him a few years ago.

thanks a lot for this video. I still remember the beginning days and how I learned grinding. I'll show this one to a good friend of mine who recently started skating and just can't hold his grinds for longer than a few ft. I never really understood why he was struggling so hard, because he does lock 'em but just bails out of them so quickly !

Dude amazing idea...its not just good for people learning..its good for the taller than average skater too...esp with balance transfering on switch ups.....I have the same kind of prail and never thought of balance practice with a chair for switchups... 👊👊👊🤘🤘

Congrats on your wheel man. Another great Vid, im going to use this to help me on royals.And if you can get your wheels in Roller Warehouse for CA that would be choice.

Great idea, one could also have a second person behind the the trainee. The second person could push a pull the trainee back and forwards, for the trainee to develop their balance but also be stabilised while being held. Thumbs up for your videos.

Thanks so much for what you do. This has been inspirational. Time to nail those grinds!

I love this idea! Will be building one this weekend 👍🏽 great video

This is really great advice. Thanks! I need to build one of these now.

Brilliant tip!

Great idea. I hadn't thought about bringing the P-Rail in the house, also hadn't thought about using a chair or something to balance with. I think this is what I'll start doing on rainy days, or when I can only snag a few minutes when work is busy. Thanks!

Amazing video. Gold nuggets for days. Thank you Josh.🙏🤙

I am using it for few months already and it is great way to work on yourself

Great tips for improving. I need to do this! Thanks.

Awesome lessons🙌🏼 thx bro

Thank you always like your videos I'm leaning a lot

My man droppin the science. Appreciate it!🙏🏾

Thanks buddy! Your videos are super helpful. I used to skate when I was 15 and now I'm back to it after 25 years 😅 and your videos are helping me a lot! Keep it up mate!

Thank you for this video!

Thanks for Your Channel, and this tips are Very Good for Peoples who can't to train Outside because is Raining , or for training Easy before Trying Outside..! Thx and Salutations to your Family ! Enjoy Agressiv Blading and Never Give Up ! 👍🤜🤛🤝

thats awesome man ! super helpful !! thank you.

Hey Josh, great tutorial. I've been doing something similar except I've been using 2 broomstick poles or even better if you can find some old ski poles to help with balance and switchups on the p rail.

Damn dude. This is amazing! Very creative way of teaching.

Awesome! I truly am a beginner. Just ordered some skates. Ty for sharing this method. I’m gonna make this prail with my dad.

I think this is a great idea! Especially for practicing the feeling of switch ups I might need to go back and do it myself to improve my own grinds hah

Brilliant tip!! I'm 37 and just started blading again after 20 years. Definitely struggling with balance and holding grinds.

Great video and great idea for beginners, I think I might start doing this to give my core a workout. My initial thought was "what about ledges?" But honestly balance is balance. Yes a rail and a ledge are very different but if you are just starting out it would definitely be better to start out like this.

That’s a great idea thanks mate

Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏 You are a teacher! Thank you so much for teaching how much you know.

Great tutorial! All i need now is to get my hands on one of those usd aeons 60s.

What a great idea! It's been raining here for a while again, I've finally got the wood and the PVC tube but I'm lacking a saw and a drill, and I've got no one to borrow them from. 😓 Damn I'd have it done in 10 minutes... I definitely need to make some local friends 😅

Absolutey brillant! I just built a p-rail for the basement and started doing this before going to bed most of the evenings. So good! I can now even traim once everybody is in bed and its dark and rainy!

Great idea! Everyone can grow their grind game with this technique.

This is an awesome point ... Like a blader version of a gymnast balance beam...another cool exercise for the beginning and end of ur trick ...cones... Like skate between the cones for the set up grind and skate between the last two on your landing... Its challenging as hell I thought I had at least a decent understanding of doing basic grinds .. using the cones makes so much more challenging...but like the person who told me about this exercise said it builds the fundamentals of flowing or doing lines... Keeps u present during ur tricks...and thank you for this video ..I been using just a balance board I made ...just a piece of pvc and a small wood planks...it works but u can't really practice stances which is more key

Excellent video 20 years ago I had a old table I put a 2 x 4 and pvc on and it was flat on the ground w one wall to help balance, I think a year later I was doing so many switch ups i couldn’t believe it, training at home w some music or skate vids really work wonders

Epic vid thank you where were these when I was 12/13 learning ….my old man body at 33 can’t take falls so gotta learn the basics

Putting your P-rail on grass really helps as well. I’m not primarily a blader but always wanted to do a frontside slide and I managed to learn them by putting my lowest rail on grass and walking up to it in my blades and jumping on, got the feel for it and then put the rail on concrete and made it happen

Great content man. Keep it up! Long time blader in Sac

Great Thank You

I learned how to royales and unitys in a similar way. I didn't stall the trick I just kinda went for it and there happened to be a big box next to my rail so each time I felt like I was gonna slip out I kinda placed my hand on it briefly to reset my balance and eventually I didn't need to do it anymore

Never did switch or topside tricks just came back and after practicing for 5 minutes on my pvc prail going from soul to switch top star I was lacing them like nothing!!! It really did give me so much confidence that I AM going to lock the switch up. Now I'm starting to get comfortable sliding left foot soul plate maybe the switch grind are coming soon so I can switch up into regular topside and add so many tricks to my book.

Very interesting training methods. I'm getting back into blading after being away for 25 years, but have been training traditional Chinese martial arts for the past 25 years, and a large part of the training is holding postures for extended amounts of time. I can't speak to blading, as I'm basically a beginner at this point, but as far as the martial arts posture hold, it really helps develop isometric strength, muscle memory, balance, relaxing into those postures to develop a balance of flexibility and strength in the connective tissue, and I've found that training enough makes getting into those postures second nature.

Really great video. Landen wants to start practicing like that. 👍🏼 I'll be using this method as well. His face lit up and he was all smiles when he heard his name. 😁 See you all soon!

Hey man, I think it's super cool that you're out here telling people it's okay to do something easier to learn the movements, it's super easy to get into the macho 'I'm gonna do this on my own the *real* way' mentality where you just hurt yourself over and over again until you figure it out

Hey Josh, thanks for another awesome video. I'm going stir crazy, think I'll build a p rail like yours and start practicing. I have the subrosa p rail, but it's a bit too high to practice new stuff on without wrecking. btw, what type of anti rocker set up is that? Are those juiceblocks on your Aeons?

dope vid i see kendamas fuh yeaaaaa!!!!!

Tks super useful

💯 g! 🙏🏽

Ha! Star to Royale is actually what I've been trying to do but it's creepy on a metal ledge. This would definitely work :) Love this tutorial. I've been meaning to build something like this for a while for myself and my kid to practice on. It's gonna happen this year :)

This is actually genius. Perfect training for rainy days. Especially with more sat down grinds, you can build/maintain that strength in the legs :)

Salve do Brasil. Show the construction of this handrail.

I'm curious what wheels you're running in your aeons. I noticed there was black wheels in the center. I have the new aeon teams with the UC Apex wheels and all of a sudden my groove tricks are lost lol. I love how fast the wheels its amazing but I feel like those center wheels got to get replaced with something that won't bite as bad. I'd like your opinion before I just throw in some anti rockers and shread these amazing Apex wheels up. Will I loose speed if I run same size harder wheels in the center? Thanks for all the tutorials ✌

Back in the day when I used to skate , our only way that we knew of to learn was throw yourself on something and try to grind it. We had a couple rails, but 1 in particular was similarities yours. It was about 6”-8” off the ground n made of pvc.. we would put the start of the rail at the end of the driveway and the rest of that rail leading out into the grass, that way when you did eat shit at least it was in the grass😂 . As we started to get the trick n be able to grind it out, then we would put a piece of plywood at the end of the rail, so we could get used to spinning out or jumping off n get the roll away .. then we’d take it to the bigger rails we had on the concrete. 🤘🏻😎 good ole days

Very good informative video, thanks a lot, I’m trying to get in to grinds, have my practice rail, I think it is very useful to build muscle strength before doing actual grinds, sometimes I go to a nearby normal park and practice on stairs there, one thing bothers me lately that should I replace my plastic antirockers with good antirocker wheels which I can place bearings inside, plastic antirockers are so catchy to cracks or other stuff on the way 🤔

Yo Josh, once again great video...Question tho I bought my son and myself the m12 lo sesame versions. What would be the best setup frame and wheel wise to change off stocks for a smoother feel and teach him grinds with...besides you videos have been a big help. Thanks keep up the work..

Sorry pal I pressed the thumbs down by accident meant to press thumbs up good idea for building muscle memory and core strength... at home while watching skate videos, luv it man

Just made myself a p rail so this vid is awesome. I've learned so much already. I'm struggling with a frontside stall, 180 in. can never land it. Any tips?

I like your watch very much indeed. could you tell me the model no and company of the watch? many thanks.

wow! thats a great p-rail, easy to make and functional, does anyone know the measures for the wood and the pvc?

is that rail a 2x6 and a ripped 2x4? what size pvc pipe did you use?

When you train spins at figure skating they have a gadget that pulls you from above, like a puppet - that might be a game changer for aggressive skating...

Well done on reaching your target, was really looking forward to this episode (thought we were doing a workout for the littleuns?)....i think you chose the wrong obstacle.... absolute beginner's would be better of using an UNWAXED ledge to perform the stalls, 1. You can practice rolling and jumping as well as stabilizing, 2. Free, just need a set of steps or a ledge. 3. Doing the ledge stalls allows to to visualise the trick better and you roll up, jump, stall, and come off. 4. Ledges/steps even when waxed heavy slide way slower then rails, allowing you to build confidence in approaching faster. 5. You will stick on the concrete every time and not as your feet shoot out when practice royal for example...6.when practicing topsides in this manner it encourages bending of the feet and squating down on grinds otherwise you roll..... great vid as always, just thinking back a good curb and some courage was all you needed!!!

What wheel setup are you riding on the Aeons?

I really want usd eaons but i have size EU 36. What in my eyes doesnt excist. The lowest size i could find was EU 37/38. Any ideas what to do?

when i was 14 i made a grind umm.....ledge out of a bunk bed and my dad got pissed

where i click to doble like?

practice stalls on a curb...ad infinitum

tbh its not so safe... i tried to hold a royale and slipped and nearly broke my arm in my loungeroom! pvc rails are sketchy when trying to stall on because they are so slippery!

Sand the pvc to keep from sliding too much.
