Smallest street handrail?

What’s the smallest legit street handrail in the UK? I’ve never done a handrail and I’m approaching 40. Feel like it’s now or never.

Don’t mind it being long, just want it low and mellow. Or a quick 10cm board slide basher Will do.

While I’m at it, I’ve never kickflipped a stair set either. Tiny two stair suggestions are also welcome.

Willing to travel.

Regs or Goofy? Ox Penns in Oxford 6 stair, can’t ball yourself, Iv even done it haha

My one and only handrail Boardslide was a 5 stair made for tiny children. The equivalent of like a normal 2 stair :joy:

Think it’s still there, can give you the pin.

Looks a bit high…

Ha. It’s probably knee high, and you’d probably slide for a foot before you’re off.

Are the skate paths at Stoke Plaza still there? Would that count?

They are but I think they’re more hubba-tastic than handrails and high, IIRC. Unity 1 in Hanley has two properly low handrails - but they’re not street.

You are vastly overestimating me. I’m talking a 2 stair 2 foot long ankle high rail. Gotta exist somewhere.

Go get it! I planned on this and it passed me by. Quite annoyed tbh. Maybe I’ll do it by the time I’m 50.

I did a tiny handrail in brum, 2 or 3 steps, no real danger of sacking. Was fairly high but I could do it when young and springy. Very satisfying, I can imagine a proper one would feel epic. Always wanted to front board one like Barbee (who didn’t)

This one in Guildford was tiny from what I remember, must’ve been cause I did a trick I couldn’t even do down it

Same. I gave a front board on one a serious go when I was 19 but never landed it. Not doing a handrail and not dropping in on the Radlands vert ramp are my two biggest skate related regrets.

This one in Brum could meet the brief.

This is in leeds, as long as you’re not going at a snails pace you’ll just hit the floor rather than sack the rail if ya mess up!

Cardiff police station is a good starter. I’ve not done many and all are legit street but quick on and offs. There is another close by leading to the underpass to get to the police station. If it’s still there.

There’s a small one I did years ago in london, a front board (goofy - you can only hit one way), the only ‘legit’ one I ever filmed, think it’s off Caledonian road? Near-ish Kings X? Red I think? Square? @Londonskater and his mega brain will know

Was there a Girl ad of Koston doing a trick on a 2 stair rail? Yeah Right or maybe Chomp era?

Feels like that’s the size Phil’s after

Edit. Found it. What use is this knowledge to anyone
