boardslide 

A skateboarding trick where you ollie, pull your front truck over the rail, and slide on your deck, perpendicular to the rail. Arguably the easiest grind trick.

The first grind trick my brother learned was the boardslide.

A very large stair set in California. Only the most expert skateboarders/bladers can make it down the handrail or the set.
