The Rail

Today I drove to my local "big box" hardware store and headed to the plumbing section. There, I spent more money than I ever expected to spend (steel prices these days...geez!!!) buying galvanized steel pipe of various lengths, as well as several types of fittings. These are the pieces I'm putting together to make my first rail.

I am not a great jumper, and I never was. I always excelled by having a larger arsenal of grinds and other street tricks than my buddies. So rather than building ramps, I am going to start where I left off, and try to re-learn to grind.

The rail is finished, and she is a beauty. 10 feet long. 12 inches high at the top, and 8 inches at the bottom. 1 1/4 inch diameter.
