I Built a super sick metal rail (rasta painted, but no paint on metal)
i have made a pvc rail in the past and decided to use metal and i made it a double barrel. i used the "electrical pipe" that i bought from home depot. it was a little soft after 5 hits, but is smooth and fine right now. it is waterproof (been though rain with no rust after) but i was wondering if anyone had any tips for making is slide cleaner and faster. my drop is really nice and i have plenty of speed to hit the rail, but is is rather annoying cuz it is really sticky. i used wax, i sandpapered the rail then heavily waxed it and it still is very sticky.
please just post any tips to help me with the situation
thanks

nononononononononononononon this cult is NOT dead
as for your question if you let wax set on the rail for a long time it sort of asorbs to the metal I guess it worked for me you could also try dish soap to good luck

Man what are you talking about? Why would there be much activity in it right now? It's the fall, so people shouldn't be posting many pics yet cuz the snow's not yet on the ground
You're just upset because F*s*cos(ø) is Work

heres the deal, u need to use a different tube. electrical pipe is way soft compared to the steel mountains use on there handrails. if u need somethin cheap( cuz metals is expensive right now) go to ur local metal store like pacific steel if u have one, and grab some drill stem. its a little big but def hard enough and should solve ur problem.
