Haha, "street" skating started in the street. All those obstacles in the parks are imitations of real things outside of the park. [LINK] Get out in them streets! Break the tricks down into steps and learn them on smaller and/or easier obstacles to start. Want to 50/50 a handrail? Find a curb and learn it there first. Remember to get that curb working you gotta RUB BRICK-SEAL THEN wax. [VIDEO] For the trick: Start wit

Looks like a great curb but prob needs some preparation: [VIDEO] When learning most curb trick I like to stall it on a dry curb first going slow and then take it to a waxed curb. And then a ledge
