rail slide

Skater's bar trick

A rail slide is a skateboarding trick where the rider jumps onto a rail or narrow ledge and slides along it with the board's deck—rather than the trucks—in contact with the surface.

The move is a staple of street skating and appears in most skateboarding video games.

Rail slides require balance and commitment: He landed a clean rail slide down the handrail.
