grind rail

Metal sliding bar

A grind rail is a metal bar or pipe, typically at skateparks, designed for skateboarders, inline skaters, and BMX riders to slide along on their trucks, pegs, or frames.

The term comes from grinding—the trick of sliding across an edge.

Rails may be straight, kinked, or curved, and vary in height and angle: He landed the grind rail on his first try.
