crazy that you have been skating for so long and never had a p rail. i've had like 20. i always made them myself, but that one looks pretty sick to have in a spot like it is. it looks like it might be a little easy to tip over if your not right on top though. cant really tell.

The triangle makes it super stable, it's heavy and I can weigh it down some more by putting brick tiles on the triangles. It's really not as dinky as it looks.

I've never really had the room to have a p-rail, and now that I do I finally got one.

sick. they are fun, but they are kind of like how people explain tattoos. once you get one its only a matter of time until you get your next one.

I already have plans for the next one, this one was super cheap to make. Gonna try it out tomorrow, if it's dry.

Haha it's so awesome that you're like 30 (right?) and your dad made you a p-rail. It looks fun, just be careful not to get tripped up on the supports.

I remember my first p-rail... it was actually going to be a swing set for my sisters 14 years ago, but I made the slide into a rail with some big bricks, those were the days. Enjoy that.

I just ordered a second one that will be able to slide into this one. Same length and height. I'm going to have the best spot in my city right in my back yard.

Hahah, that's pretty fucking cool.
I've never had one either.
I don't have the room for one either apart from using it in my living room which would definitely piss off my neighbors, haha.

my first p-rail was a cinder block and galvanized pole from a fence the way its supposed to be

You're soon going to wish your dad had made you a longer one. I have a 12 foot one and I wished it was longer right after I skated it for the first time

good stuff...p rails are always entertaining especially on shitty weather days or just lazy days.

we built a pvc p-rail at my friend johns house maybe two weeks ago thats twenty five or thirty feet long. its been and so fun either warming up on it and then going street skating or ending the day with a late session on it.

Well I ordered another one yesterday. Same length and height, and it will be able to slide into this one. So I can have one long 6M rail, or 2 3m ones for lines. The second one will be here next week.

My dad had it welded for him at a scrapyard. Brought his own rail. It cost about $40 so I might have a shed full of these things soon.

16-20 feet is the perfect length. you should get another one and do lines 8)
