c-boy, all of the rails have the option to just ride on, and for the most part it's a good idea for first timers. the lower boxes and flatbar can be ollied onto quite easily, but by no means should you ever approach a rail in some sort of butterslide-ish position. You will lose your teeth.

c-boy, i has a ramp, rest assured, but the ollie is super easy, espicially with the pull from the cable.
