how did you attach the metal poles to your 2x whatever you have?

Beaver, im pretty sure they attach with 2 or 4 screws straight up into the 2x whatever .... kinda like in asteriks 2 if u've seen it

where do you get the part that you put the screw through ? i think thats what he's asking and ive got the same question.... ive never seen anything like that and would like to know where to pick some up....like the metal part that cups out to support the board

yeah i know its just screws, but is there a piece on top of the metal pole to go into the wood?

i would not recommend that way of building rails though...pretty unsturdy. the incline rail broke in like 3 days. cant beat the 4x4's in the ground, with 2x4s on the side theory.

NaRC-P rider, haha how does it ride? easy to spin kickflips?

stompin9s, nay. contracts up.

intothexsjados, before the life trap i was riding ben caruso's Team Machine and it was already broken in and stuff, so it was like riding a board you had been riding for a while. i got the life trap brand new and it took me a week or so and definitely some sliding (to get more friction on the bottom) to break it in, but it's been riding like a freakin champ now, couldn't be happier.
