that is still nasty as hell haha. How deep is that mother?

Also if I were you, I wouldn't put the rail up until I knew for sure my chances of falling were 'fairly' slim haha. I WOULD NOT want to fall face first into that hole of disease Laughing

Jonesie, in the it goes from about 4 inches on the left side to maby a foot on the right side. Now that i know how gross it is i don't think i will put a rail in it. Hopefully i can hit it up tomoro but i will have a crap load of homework for finals---- Last DAY OF SCHOOL IS ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

liquid, Ya i would do it for three bucks, but you might wanna make your own instead... They are fun but they are hard to use, i don't want you to buy one from me and then be all pist off because it is just a piece of molded plastic with grip and spraypaint. This is how you make them:

Tools
Jig saw (hack saw also works)
Oven
Steel File
Picture of your favorite wakeskate. (about 4 ¼ inch long)
Griptape
Blow Up Doll (optional)
Spraypaint
Hard Plastic (about 1/8 inch thick)*
Stencil of a cool graphic

*I cut my plastic from a semi-clear plastic notebook binder I bought at Pamida; Wal-Mart might sell them too.

Build It
Alright, cut out the wakeskate picture, and trace it on your plastic. Use the jigsaw to cut the plastic. You can try using heavy-duty scissors but the plastic cracked when I used them, a hacksaw will work too but that takes along time. After you got your wakeskate cut out file down the edges so that they get nice and smooth, make sure the corners look the same. Next, pull out your blow up doll and… jk. Turn one of the burners on the top of your oven onto HIGH. When the burner is red, (you can’t sew me if you burn yourself) take your wakeskate and rotate it about two inches above the burner. You will have to switch hands because it gets hotter than crap. When the wakeskate is bendable bend it to the concave that you want and hold it there. I opened up the freezer door and held the wakeskate (WHILE YOUR STILL BENDING IT TO THE CONCAVE YOU WANT) up against that cooling system in the freezer, you don’t have to wait as long for it to cool down. Then take your stencils and spraypaint your design onto the bottom, makesure to get the edges. After that is done cut out your griptape designs and slap that shat on like your regriping your skateboard. To finish up, ride that beach hardcore cuz it doesn’t matter if you break it cuz you know how to make another one.

Just ask if your wondering about something.

sounds sweet man, i made a dvs skate out of a beer mat! still got the concave and kicktails strong and i made it before xmas! not used it on water tho Laughing

its well fun to build little rails and kickers on a desk or whatever;

Tools
pens (pencils will work to)
sellotape
a box of some kind (i used a mini dv video tape case)
ur skate

Build It
aight, sellotape ur height increasing devices securely to the desk, then tape the pens on the top of the box and also to the desk where they connect. Hey presto u got yourself a rail ramp.

also just sellotape pens all over the place and play around, i got a rail, an
A-frame, a kicker and a rail ramp

I made my own finger wakeskates bout 3 years ago or so. I made them outta basswood from a hobbystore (its like balsa, but stronger). I just traced it from a finger wakeboard, so it looks a little long, but then i just cut it out with a little saw. I did the final shaping and rounded the edges with a dremel tool, then fired up the stove and put a kettle full of water on it with only the spout open. Once it boiled, I held it over the steam and bent some rocker into it. That took awhile. Then, I opened up a vise until it was about 1/2 shorter than the length. I centered it on the vise, got it wet, and put like a 20 lb hand barbell on it for the night. Then i used a red and black sharpie for graphics and sprayed a good 4 or 5 coats of the water based polycrylic wood sealer on it over the course of a day. Finally i put on griptape, and sessioned the hot tub with it. After bending some concave in it after using it for a few times, then concave started to stay. Now 3 years later it has a mean concave and is better than ever.

Jimmy T, Ohya, I am pretty sure it's called veneer wood. I used that crap for making mini skateboards. I just soaked 4 sheets of that stuff, the size of a teckdeck, in water. Then when they got real bendy i clamped them together between to TechDeck decks.

YES! i get to sit in the pool for 3 whole days at the campsite I am going to over the weekend!!... Crying or Very sad

My parents won't let me do shat. Two of my friends are comming with and i have to watch them and my brother wakeskate for 3 days while i sit and do nothing! Evil or Very Mad

Seriosly, i think i will go insane, I had to hide my wakeskate under my bed cuz wenever i see it i waste like 10 minutes of my life standing on it thinking of what the water will be like.

P.S. Does anybody know how to destroy an air bubble between the lungs and ribcage, and does anyone know how to make Pleurasy go away?????? Crazy Eyes
