The Switch Rodeo 5 - a variation of a cork was the trick that clinched it for me.

The best part is conquering a new trick. I've never done a 180 on a rail, much less a switch 180. I had a smile on my face from ear to ear. The worst thing about riding rails: You can hurt yourself.

There's always someone there that you know that you can have fun with.

You will be practicing with them twice a day, and they are just as good as you are. They will be just as fast and just as athletic. I expect them to take some things from me, and I'll probably take some things from them.

You release that, you're going up like a cork underwater. But you ain't getting it back, so that is a last resort.

That may be a rodeo first.
