I just spent $21 on the same rail you just made and it came out pretty good.I can't wait until my skates come in tomorrow to actually try it out. Thanks you so much for the tips!!!
Just built this, cost $60 USD in Canada, but that's with an extra few feet of PVC and tons of spare 2x6! Thanks for the inspiration :) Super fun on the skateboard and scooter!!
Man, I made this exact p rail but it had to be stored in my Florida garage and in less than 2 months the legs warped and it rocks instead of sitting flat.
I've considered it. But I really don't think it will break like that. I usually carry this rail around by myself to skate spots so if I put legs in the middle it will make carrying it more awkward than it already is.
Have you had any problems with the PVC? I'm making a similar design but I don't know why the pipe it's moving and bending regardless of putting many screws
No I haven't had any issues with the PVC I don't know why it would be moving on you like that. I think I started at one end and made my way to the other making sure the pipe wasn't twisted or anything like that. Could it be started with a warped pipe?
None at all! I just had a good and long session on it just the other too. The rail is still up right and the brackets are not bending. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I thought that maybe I would have to tighten the screws after a few months but haven't had to yet.
Very nice project! Thanks for the list in the description. Want to build something like that to practice grinds while I work from home. Do you think a bigger radius pipe would be better for frames with bigger groove (Oysi)?
No problem! You could go bigger if you wanted and I think it will be just as good. I believe the Oysi frames have a nice wide groove kind of like the Aeons I'm riding. A bigger PVC will be closer to your inside wheels. But with all that wheel bite protection I don't think it will really matter. I think it only really matters if you're looking to do negative tricks. The bigger the pipe the harder negative tricks start to become.
Yo man I noticed the PVC pipe isn't sliding very good, i mean it slides for fronside/backside but my soul plates are sticking do I need a certain type of wax you think?
I just use regular skate wax. If you just built it, it will need a break in period. They don't slide amazing right away. After it's broken in make sure to clean it every once in a while too. Or else old wax and dirt will build up.
Boardslides, Tailslides, and Noseslides should be fine. However I have 50-50 this rail before and it's not the greatest if you're kingpins are longer than the trucks. Also it's PVC so it's relatively soft and I've noticed that really beat up jagged trucks can sink into it and stop you.
Bro with the price of wood right now this is a lot ;-; hopefully I can do I only have 40 bucks and a scooter no wax tho idk where to find some good wax. (I use a scooter 🛴)
It was kind of a sketchy situation but I was able to fit everything into my car. Although the wood and pvc were sticking out the front passenger window of my tiny car...
I haven't had any issues yet with the L brackets bending or breaking. There is a lot of flex to the rail being designed like this but it's nothing too crazy. I like the height I get with this design also I think it's more lightweight vs the triangular design. I recommend building for what fits your needs best.
My local park just closed so I made this rail and I have never been so creative and had so much fun skating

That's so rad! Happy to hear!
have fun !
One comment away from greatness. Yall know what to do

Nice rail bro, greetings from Argentina =D
Hi! Thank you so much!
Dope video! You've inspired me to build one 💪
Thank you! Hope it goes well for you!
Man, I made this exact p rail but it had to be stored in my Florida garage and in less than 2 months the legs warped and it rocks instead of sitting flat.
I just built this today for $25. Its a good idea to put a chunk of 1.5 inch wood under the middle so it doesnt snap in half!
I've considered it. But I really don't think it will break like that. I usually carry this rail around by myself to skate spots so if I put legs in the middle it will make carrying it more awkward than it already is.
So creative! He builds rails & skates well?! Who is this guy? Love It!!!!!!!
Thanks Syd. Lol
Good stuff 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thanks! Nice grinds too
Thank you! 🙌
Well done bro! 🙌🏻
Thank you 🙏
it moves
Nice
Dope! How has the pvc held up? I’m about 220lbs and worry about it snapping off of the 2x6 lol.
Have you had any problems with the PVC? I'm making a similar design but I don't know why the pipe it's moving and bending regardless of putting many screws
No I haven't had any issues with the PVC I don't know why it would be moving on you like that. I think I started at one end and made my way to the other making sure the pipe wasn't twisted or anything like that. Could it be started with a warped pipe?
So after a few months, have you had any issues with this design? I like it because it's simple. How are the L brackets holding up?
None at all! I just had a good and long session on it just the other too. The rail is still up right and the brackets are not bending. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I thought that maybe I would have to tighten the screws after a few months but haven't had to yet.

@@SpookyBoots ok cool what do you suggest I clean it with like alchohol and a rag?
No I would recommend a wool scrub pad or some very fine sandpaper just to knock off the dirt and wax You don't need to use anything wet.
@@SpookyBoots thanx for the feedback bro.. Cheers! ⚔🖤💯
No problem!
Does it work with skateboard bro?
It can, but I would recommend a metal pipe for stakeboarding, as the trucks will really eat up the PVC.
Would this work for a skateboard or would it be too light
Boardslides, Tailslides, and Noseslides should be fine. However I have 50-50 this rail before and it's not the greatest if you're kingpins are longer than the trucks. Also it's PVC so it's relatively soft and I've noticed that really beat up jagged trucks can sink into it and stop you.
@@SpookyBoots would a metal or pvc pole work better
For a skateboard I feel like metal would be more enjoyable
@@SpookyBoots do you think pvc would be durable and if so how long would it last
I guess it depends on how often and hard you skate.
Do you think this Would work with a skateboard?
It could work. But if you are a beginner I would recommend a square rail. Also I think a metal pipe would be better for a skateboard.
How much did you spent for this? Thanks!
Hey! I believe it was $35.00 to $40.00.
those the new USD shadows or the older style?
So those are the Xsjado 2.0 Farewell skates. They were that last of that style before the new rebranded Shadows under USD.
Bro with the price of wood right now this is a lot ;-; hopefully I can do I only have 40 bucks and a scooter no wax tho idk where to find some good wax. (I use a scooter 🛴)
How did you transport the wood and pvc home ??
It was kind of a sketchy situation but I was able to fit everything into my car. Although the wood and pvc were sticking out the front passenger window of my tiny car...
I got it home.. what in the world do you use / size of screws on the brackets for the legs..? 2 inches seems way big
So I believe I used 2-in wood screws for drilling the legs into the 2x6 and in terms of L brackets I think I used one and a half I think.
im making one
Rad! Hope this helps!
Seem not be solid for long time, think a triangle construction is safer... 🤔
I haven't had any issues yet with the L brackets bending or breaking. There is a lot of flex to the rail being designed like this but it's nothing too crazy. I like the height I get with this design also I think it's more lightweight vs the triangular design. I recommend building for what fits your needs best.
@@SpookyBoots Interesting to hear, you're right with the triangular weight. Will try this one next time 🙂, thank you for answer. 👍
no brasil esses itens sai 500 reais quase 2 mil dólares :(
I'm trying to understand. Are you saying it is very expensive?
@@SpookyBoots yes it is expensive, it makes sports very difficult here in Brazil
Sorry to hear that ☹️ are you wanting to build a p rail?
Thats a 2x8x10 (1.5x7.25)
Thank you!
