Setup

A unique railbattle needs some unique rails to battle on. Stichting Blanko asked GV Constructions and DIDID to come up with a design that's challenging the best railriders of Europe to get creative and put down some spectacular tricks.

Pictures below are visualized by DIDID.

There are various rails so various riders can do various tricks to receive various amounts of applause.

From the public's perspective, at the left there's the double kinked rail. It's called double kinked because of the two corners in the middle of the rail, which makes it harder to ride than a normal straight rail. At the end of this rail you see another very small kink, that's called the donkey dick. Don't ask us why.

The second obstacle to overcome is a long downrail. Pretty obvious.

Next up: the pole jam gap to downrail. Quite a risky rail, so keep an eye on this one. Spec-ta-cu-larity will ensue. The Mustachio tells us this obstacle is replaced for a more radical feature: a flat to down gap.

Fourth in line is a downrail against the wall. Urban style! Above it is a straight rail which is followed by a huge drop.

And last but not least. A pole jam to wall ride. Riders can get really creative on this one.
