But lappers, copers, nose bones and tail skids aren’t?

because 99.9999999% of people who skate rails were born after 2000 and have no clue what those other things are.
-

Because those things have no use in contemporary skateboarding

Rip grip needs to make a come back.

I doubt anyone would really give a shit if someone put any of those things on their board
-

They aren’t ok. It’s cheating.

Copers make it easier not to hang up on disasters rails make it easier to slide both are wack and illegal
-
I have a broken rail I like throwing on as a tail skid from time to time. I’ve seen people on Instagram make copers out of pvc, I think it’s all rad.

Bolt all that shit on your board and have a ball dude. Invent something new and slap that on there too.
Who is judging you anyways? I’ll have a talk with them if you want.

I love you sneaky.

I wouldn't mind trying out a setup that has all of those 80s gimmicks attached.

I have a sick ALF Variflex with all the bells and whistles.
Remember ALF? He’s back. In skateboard form.

My first set up was a Maui and Sons complete with all those bells and whistles in 91. I got kooked into oblivion and took them of real quick. Ever since I have refrained from mounting any plastic gear to my bloards.

Cause they actually serve a purpose

i just set up a cruiser/slappy board with rails, but a normal setup i couldn't fuck with them.
I do remember back in the day i was getting a muska silhouette deck and joked about putting rails on, i walked away from the counter for a min and the kid put them on. I was heated
-

This. Go faster
-

I couldn't imagine going to a shop. or worse showing up to a session, and I have to transer all that shit on a new deck
-
Have you tried them out?
I put them on a board once and they’re kinda sick.. you can slide longer, rad transition lipslides. Plus the noise your board makes on rougher ground made me smile it’s like a tractor haha.
You eat a good amount of shit too while adjusting cos they’re slick.
I eventually stopped using them mostly cos I’m lazy to unscrew / screw again but I wouldn’t bash them, they’re fun!
-
They’re fun dude chill out

Indeed. Also copers are ok. Most people just don’t want them but there are some famous backyard pools where they’re mandatory.

The only reason you should have rails on your board is if you're consistently boardsliding unwaxed, virgin, curbs and ledges.
-
One time I overheard some dude recommend an older beginner skater to get some rails to learn back boards on a curb which is waxed to shit and appears to have coats of lacquer on it. I hope that dude did not take their advice/did not die.

I use rails, fucking fight me

Only if you can’t roll in frontside.

I miss the homey @TailDevil.

I most certainly will not.
Your rails are between YOU & your god.
And also between your deck and curbs/ledges you skate.
None of my business.
You do you.

Schmitt Stix used to make the best rails, those things slid forever.
Bolt them on with Powell Rat Nuts, shit was tight.

Rails are great. especially for curb dancing.

Finally got some period correct wheels for my 80's setup, Madrid Fly wheels. The Slime Balls I had on it before weren't made till 1987 and that's too far of from '85. They're 90D which is softer then I like to skate so we'll see how long I'll rep them. Been so hard not to buy yellow PVC off of amazon to make matching coppers

Broke my lapper today let me know if you have a link to some yellow or white ones. That would be much appreciated

Why are rails ok?

Throw this bad boy in the 9-inch and over thread in the Gear section

Just tape a 5lb weight to your board and you’ll get the idea.
-
Rails are sick and I have had them on every setup consistently since 2004
Calling them cheating is silly, it’s a piece of plastic screwed to the bottom of your board… it’s cool, it’s fun and it works for what it’s supposed to do
-
Are the lappers to prevent hanging up? do they even work?

This is an ironically slow gif for the size of this rail.
-

That was the idea. They helped a little, but you could definitely still hang up.

Also an easy way to go up a curb before the prevalence of the flat grown ollie.
It actually bonks you up for some fun one inch airs
-
That's the only way I could get up curbs in the 80s when I couldn't ollie. Just lift up, smash that curb, ride on up. Pretty easy way to break the lappers though. That's okay, those things are fucking dumb.
Rails are fucking awesome though. Boardslides are fun as fuck, rails can make them even longer and funner. What's the problem?

Real skaters just ride tree trunks. If your deck is cut on a machine that’s cheating.
