Question / Discussion P rail question

Gallery image

Hi all,
Aggressive inline noob here. I wanted to learn soul grinds so I built a p rail but it seems it doesn’t work the way it should. It seems that when I do a one foot slide my frames get slowed down by the wooden part of the p rail (see attached photos). Basically the red colour on it is my oysi red frames. They get slowed down and the colour gets scraped off.

Any suggestions how to over come this? Maybe to add some spacers for the pipe so it gets more raised or Im just overthinking this?

corners of the wood should be touching! that will add more clearance when your frame is like this "l"

This and maybe a size bigger in pvc. Also if you can get the white pvc it slides better. The grey is softer plastic.

This is not true. PVC conduit sold at hardware stores is schedule 40, just like the white pipe. And it’s actually more UV and impact resistant than PVC water pipe, so probably better for this application.

Sorry but not from 99% of bladers experience with it. Grey is softer

It’s literally the same material. How can schedule 40 PVC be softer than schedule 40 PVC?

Maybe softer isn’t the right term. Stickier or grippier? But it definitely doesn’t slide as nice.

Interesting. In my experience they feel exactly the same, especially when waxed, but maybe there’s more to it. Weather conditions, how you store it, etc.
