A grind rail is a railing used by skateboarders, snowboarders, and skiers to do tricks, such as grinds and slides.1 They are usually square or round.


The two types of rails are:
- Handrail, a normal handrail on the sides (or the middle) of a stair.
- Flatbar, a flat rail located near the ground.2
