Venues - The School

There's a school near my house that is a skaters' paradise. There are flat rails, curved rails, kinked rails, planter ledges, downstair ledges, flat ledges over stairs, pretty much everything you can think of, it's there. However, I've come to realize, I'm still not good enough to take advantage of most of this stuff. I am having trouble building up my courage to jump on the bigger rails.

But... I grinded my first handrail today. It reminded me of my very first time to jump on a handrail. It was about a 4-stair rail, maybe 5 feet long, and I only grinded about the last 2 feet. But dammit, I jumped on with both feet, and slid. It counts. I'll have to be patient, progress comes ever so slowly.
