Speaking of Rails

I have had these for a while and after playing with rails for the last 2 days or so I am finally ready to admit it.  They are silly.  They stick on and are really thin.

I feel like these will be in my box of old weird parts forever, I can not see them making any board cooler or more useful.

Peel off and stick.

these are really really really thin.

New Rails.

New Rails.  For a while the only Powell rails I saw available were those orange Thin Ribs.  I had a set but did not like them, so I gave them to my buddy Charlie.  He skated them a few times and did not like them either.  Now we can all get Powell Rib Bones in black and white as well as the orange Thin Ribs.  This set just came, I think I am going to put them on my Vallely Reissue or a new school deck to try them out.  The rails now come with little wood screws instead of Rat Nuts, which sucks, but I still have some old packs of Rat Nuts so I will probably use those instead.
