tjmac, Those are too big, I made some out of Trex deck. They were thinner than yours but a little taller. They had alot of drag and steerd the board funny. You'll find out first pull you take.

wakemitch, yeah, too much drag... he took out the middle bar.

skateonwater, Yeah, I did a little fiming in July with him and he had taken his iron and took the middle bar out, so it was just a washer with a washer cut in half, those two peices welded together then welded to the other washer.... ya dig?

I'll look through my photo's this weekend and see if I can find a pic of it.

Good luck!!

they might not be strong enough. i tried to make some with just molded epoxy resin, but i screwed up with the threads and stuff... idk id fool around with that if i were you or at least do something to strengthen them. but let me tell u, a hardened block of resin is amazingly hard and seems like an ideal material for the bumps

mr.foonis, resin wears away fast. when i made bumps out of ping pong balls i filled them with epoxy resin. after sliding a box for 30 minutes they wore down to the screw.

I was under the impression that a homemade blunt looked something like this
