if you ride park only and you do park rails/ledges you don't really need them that bad..

i just use em out on street when im grinding concrete ledges

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, they work wonders on concrete ledges. I had some super old school ones but they wore out really fast since they had been out in the sun and stuff. But for the time they lasted they were fast.

i've always wanted them but i never knew how to put them on. i dont know how to put them on. Plus the video in the mod bible doesnt work. Any help?

I just got mine 2 days ago. Didnt get to ride them yet but I will tommorw.

Will edit.

Tommy, you just drill them in. Apparently they're self tapping screws so you can just drill them in. Or you could probably drill out a hole with a smaller bit then drill the screw in, that's what I did with the old ones I was using.

 

[Hep Greg]

thats what i did too. they're self tapping on skateboards, not scooters. gotta keep that in mind.

Alex, didnt you like make some out of cutting board? How'd it go? I've always wanted a smoother grind so im planning to get either grind rails or just make some.

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah I did, it was great, I just took it off because I hardly grind haha. It didn't weigh much either, since it's just some plastic. I still have it and it's in great condition.

 

[scootbobby]

90degree tubing

longer rear axel or another bolt through back wheel

 

[italyman280]

adding some plastic ribs on the bottom of your deck wont do anything, if anything it will make it weaker. because your drilling holes.

 

[ENERGY TURTLE]

The holes are so small they should really hurt anything. The rails wear down to fast to even be worth it.

when you put the screws in make sure you use thread lock because somtimes the screws start to wiggle out.
