I really want good pegs but i cant find any good info about how to make them. Madis made some really sweet ones but they are really complicated to make. Other than that tread all ive heard is use sockets, and bearings on a bolt...i finally made a simple front peg outta a back axle and 4 bearings but its really shitty and doesnt do much and i want a back peg to. If anyone has any tips or ways of makin some good pegs that arent shit then please post in here...if u have a way then please try and use as much detail as possible, pics, step by step instuctions, or vids (im a retard and need that stuff %-6 )

dude, I can tell you how, just msn me or something. Remember that socket wrench that I found at cummer? Get one of those (or maybe a bigger one about 5/8th size would be better) and buy a bolt from home depot that has the same threads as the little axle bolt, but just a bit longer, so you can put it through the socket wrench and tighten it in the axle. I'm gonna make some anyways, so I'll show you how to do it sometime...

I can do all of those without pegs, especially smiths which don't need pegs at all. As long as you don't have an old A you're fine without pegs, and even with my old A I could icepick pretty well.

But for the pegs, just use a socket or bearing on a long axle, just like everyone has said in every other thread about pegs.

try doing a nosegrind or an icegrind (basically a 5-0 or icepick grind or something but I don't know what to call it) without pegs and see for yourself. And you can do double pegs, which are much easier with pegs, then on a droupout...

Well not on the dropout, since the dropout on the back is like a millimeter thick. I did it on the back part of the deck, kinda on the angled part.

You can't toothpick. And I mean you can't. Unless you have some custom forks or something like that, maybe you mean noseblunt?

I dunno, I still don't think it's a legit toothpick. Still a cool trick, just make up a different name for it. Like a hairpick.

except a noseblunt and the trick im doing are completely different. There is about a half inch or inch (bad with measurments) of space to balance on on this trick. Noseblunts you have like 4 or 5 inches.. plus the wheel there to help with balance. You can do noseblunts in quarters and stuff with round coping. "toothpicks" you cannot.

whos up for dibblepick? lol just kiddinggggg
