Tensor Mag lights with rails is crazy, literally like sliding on ice! Magnesium trucks slide amazingly, but they wear down a lot quicker than other metal trucks.
All the recent "should you add rails to your board" videos on RUclips are kinda surreal to an old timer like me. In the late eighties/early nighties the discussion was "should you take the rails off your deck?". Back then for instance many completes came with rails already. The cheaper to mid boards also often had 'tail savers' which were massive rounded plastic bumpers that were bolted to the underside of your (single) kick. Oh and even 'nose guards ' that looked like you deck was wearing a retainer. To be fair, back then most rails that came supplied were awful, kinda hollow things with kinda 'crinkle cut' edges for extra grip (back then vert was king so I guess that was the priority rather than slides etc) and what pissed most people off was that after a couple of hours skating they'd come loose and start rattling. I remember as street became more popular, the sign that you were cool as that you took off your rails and definitely the stupid tail saver if you had one. We dabbled with the more 'quality' rails, more similar to the ones sold now and remember they were way better, but ultimately it became lame to use rails and they were forgotten. So it's so weird for me to see them creeping back. Not a 'bad' thing just weird.
Another pro: it makes balance slightly easier as it squares off the concave of your board.. so rather then balancing on a slightly rounded surface your balanced more level with the rail. Atleast for me anyway🤷♂️😂
Rails are literally my biggest skate fear, but convinced myself to land my first trick (back nose) on a bump to bar because dan made me think it's compulsory after watching him skate
Just recently set up rails on my deck. Can't believe I was missing out all these years lol! Stoked on the length of slides I am getting! Best advice for riding with deck rails in the first minute of this video. Why limit the fun! Found this video while searching how to make rails a little more solid feeling (no rattle). Anyways, I ended up not finding too many videos and cut out bicycle inner tube to fit exactly under my rails and they have a super solid feel. I met you out at SCV recently. You have a sick channel. lots of insane skateboarding.
Also Dan, you're the only other person I've seen who's chopped off a bit of each rail! The owner at the skateshop looked at me like I was crazy when I did that, but who wants MORE wheelbite?! HELL YES thank you for understanding! 🤘
Hahaha them revive jokes & “AR” & “BR” lmfao 🤣 it makes me laugh so hard when you annoy dale!! Sorry Dale!! Lol I seriously do enjoy your guys on screen chemistry. Makes these videos even more fun!! This video was awesome!! Made my day and pumped me up to go skate with my board that has rails by the way!!
lmao I lost it laughing when you did the comparison with Dale's board and just launched it xD Love the videos, helped inspire me to start skating again! Much love, peace
I wonder if rails make your board stronger in cases of landing too close in the middle of the board? I never used rails because of thinking they would add weight, but rails seem very logical, and the chicks dig it! 😆🖖
I’ve ridden rails for probably the last 10 or so decks (I don’t remember exact amount), and I’ve never snapped a middle of a board while they’re on a deck. Tail and right next to the truck yes but they definitely strengthen the main centre of your deck.
I like rails, _but_ I like Everslick boards way better. Both are (slightly) heavier than a regular skateboard, but the Everslick adds durability. It's worth a consideration too.
I like everslick just for the preservation of the graffix, which rails help with as well, but also less drilling holes and messing around with hardware and more skating lol
It’s kinda strange for us older guys coming from a time when everyone had rails and it was odd not to, compared to now where people think it’s a novelty to use them, I made a similar video explaining about the consistency etc too and another part of that is the two points of contact with the bar or coping which makes it really solid rather than rocking on the concave of the bare deck. Best rails are always the hardest ones, bones are way too soft these days, they used to make some called thin ribs which were way harder and actually exactly the same as the enjoi ones (they were called tummy sticks) you mentioned and also the ones Girl used to make. Steve Caballero still rides them as he has a stock pile from bitd and strangely all 3 types I mention were only available in orange 🍊🤔. These days I ride Santa Cruz Cell block rails as they are super hard and thicker so they don’t wear down too fast and they are super slippery , they just released the OJ versions that are Orange so had to get them of course 😆. The only other ones I’d say were hard enough are Pig Rails but they are too slim for my concave , Grosso used to swear by them and he & Cab were/are the kings of rock n roll slides in pool. Great video👊🏼
I'm another guy who used to skate in the 80s when rails were the norm. Yea it's odd reading some peoples views on them these days and how some people are hesitant about using them. Some people think they're ugly but to me, they look normal. Likewise, some people these days think that fishtail shaped decks look ugly but I think they look awesome. Once again, it was just the norm in the 80s. I also find it strange that some people worry that rails are going to add extra weight to their board. Why the worry? They're super light (at least the 80s rails were.) I don't know about the weight of modern rails but I doubt they'd be much different. Ive heard good things about Pig Rails but haven't used them as yet. Do you reckon they would be fine on a deck with medium concave? I guess it wouldn't be wise to use them on a deck with deep concave.
@@anzaeria I totally agree! Pig rails are good because they are very hard which is what you want really because they slide consistently (I cant understand why some people want rails that dont slide well - kinda defeats the purpose) but their only downside is that they are very slim, so like you say not ideal for a deep concave, it will mean you have to mount them closer together further in on the deck which i dont like. I have found the perfect rails to be Santa Cruz/Crature/OJ they are all the same with a different name but they are hard, deep enough to fit in a sensible position on the deck and slide very consistently.
@@NeilHesterSkateboarding Yea Ive heard good things about pig rails but not the hardware that comes with them. There seem to be a number of complaints about the screws. It sounds like the Santa Cruz rails have a good reputation and are popular. I might grab a pair of those perhaps for my modern board with medium concave. Though I did read comments from two people who broke their Santa Cruz rails which sounds crazy to me. Ive never heard of rails breaking before. One of these guys claimed that they broke within one day. Are the Santa Cruz rails usually supplied with good quality screws?
I just tried rails on my board for the first time, and hoooooly did they ever make my boardslides fast! Have you tried the Pig rails? How did those compare to Bevup's? After watching this I want to order some of Bevup's now, but I'm guessing he's all sold out (considering it's a year since you posted this) and I'm not even sure he would ship to me in Canada, and my Pig ones are still good and more of them are easy to get at local shops. Thanks for the awesome vid, Dan! 🤘🛹
I never rode them for 20 some years and I just got some Pig rails because I wanted thinner style, my buddy reminded me of Grosso saying Pig rails were good. I really like them so far not that I get to skate enough but I like them so much I think I'll probably always have them now.
super fun to ride had some on my last board only problem for me with them is when i would disaster on ramps i would slide out but without rails i can do then just fine
How far would u recomend placing the rails in from the edge on a 8.25? Is there like a certain measurement you know to measure them in from the side? Like a inch or inch and a qtr?
I know this is too late but ive been riding rails on and off for years and I 've been using enjoys rails and i here you on them so what i did was sand them down to make it look like a speed bump makes them slide way better then the first set i tried . trial and error when your stuck with the same rails your shop carries .
rails are a must for me..always gotta pink set on deck..adds strength..slides easier..an easier grabs...but honestly i dont think it matters WHAT kinda rails you use jus use rails gash flamit
I'll put a couple on top of my board for dark slides..lol no not really.. but this does make sense if you want to slide farther and easier! i'd say try it.
Does anybody rock just the one rail? I noticed some of the local young kids in KC are just rocking one rail on just one side of their board? I am not that big on deck rails in general, but I am curious as to why someone would just want one rail and not two?
Not really, maybe it helps mentally :D I‘m also around 220lbs and ride rails. My decks like do crack in the middle (sooner or later) and thenonly things that rails do is that your board won’t end up in two pieces bc the rails are usually flexible enough and just hold the deck pieces together ^^
@@shanewilliams6077 no probs. But as Dan said - get rails if you wanna have fun! More consistent slides, slides on basically any surface also without tons of wax and as a bonus it protects your board’s graphic longer. I tried a few different ones but my favorites are Powell Rib Bones!
Damn I weigh in at 213 lbs and I have never given boardslides a serious attempt but now I'm afraid of cracking my board haha. Guess I need to get a bit leaner.
YOCAHER rails last long time. Been using this brand for several years now. I remember Schmidt sticks had some that had a track on the bottom of the rail the hardware mounted to the board and you slid the rails on to the hardware.
DAN PLS i’ve asked every rail rider and never got a response, my rails keep falling off, stripping the holes in my deck and i can’t get them back on. but i love riding them. helps pls i need tips
I put rails on all my boards with the rat nuts n all!!! Crusty curbs are the best with em n theirs alot of crusty stuff that i see rail-less skaters approach n they eat it put it helps for a hand hold when you wanna thrown down on the fly....js
For a normal rail slide would using 1 rail instead of two cut the friction in half? ... if you could stay perfectly balanced with 1 rail down the middle.
you need an affiliate link or tell your homie i just bought some by clicking the link on this video so he owes you plus the fact you said they might be sold out is a selling factor. i like that he includes hardware and stickers too. either that or you need a discount code for getting them through this video
i got the black ones because thats what you ride. was thinking about white ones because i ride white wheels because they have less impurities from the coloration which makes them last longer and stay harder, but these are plastic not polyurethane so i thought maybe the added coloration might make them stronger idk. probably doesnt matter in the end.
I don’t see anything wrong with trying all the new technology in skating and having fun. Just try them if you want to try them. They protect your board graphic if you don’t care about anything else
I tried deck rails, but for me with my luck with boards and hardware, they are just one more thing to go wrong on my board. I hate when they come loose and make that slapping noise. I really only skate at skate parks now that have buttery ledges and flatbars, so I don't feel the deck rails would help me much. If I were to start skating a lot of street and curbs, then yeah, rails would make more sense. And let's face it, I am not that good anymore, so a lighter board is better for me too. But for the way I skate, they are kind of unnecessary for me.
Pig rails are also really good. I like them because they are the thinnest rails i have found. Are the bevup rails thin as well or bulky and thick like the bones rails?
weér already wearing the skateboard the first day. under the wheels and tail this thing will be gone before we can even ollie I didn't realize how quickly the wood wheres away, wheelbite that didnt stop us definitly cuting a whole and we havnt been out of the driveway, Is there somthing that just covers the perimiter of the deck?? they should just use synthetic ice, you couldnt harm a board with a layer of that on the bottom.
Harder plastic...um what is the plastic made from (black ones on that board that you were repping)? UHMW, HDPE, or were they injection molded? I'm interested in material they are made from which tells me their coefficient of friction (basically how slippery the material is). Less friction coefficient=slippery!
I covered this in my rails explainer video, they both slide equally well but rails give you a more solid contact, not rails or a slick the board rocks on the concave so not as consistent.
I ride with deck rails because i like to give wizard vibes when I lip slide unnaturally far on a ledge with no wax.
That board kick was pricelessly unexpected!!
I thought the same. It was funny af though

Pre drill with tiny holes then use a bit of silicone on the bottom of the rails. It'll stick the rails on and stick the screws in..
Double sided tape my dude
It’s just nice to not have to wax the piss out of every block or curb you come across. It’s a convenience thing.
what size trucks do you use
Would board rails affect your approach to skating hand rails? I’m wondering if they would cause hang-up on kinks.
Do they brake off a lot? Gonna try my first rails tomorrow :)

I know its a dumb question, but do they feel different on hand rails? Just cuz of the angle of the rail
The guys at my local who use rails only use one. Do you happen to know why?
It counter acts the slide by giving you resistance on the heel.
Harder plastic...um what is the plastic made from (black ones on that board that you were repping)? UHMW, HDPE, or were they injection molded? I'm interested in material they are made from which tells me their coefficient of friction (basically how slippery the material is). Less friction coefficient=slippery!
