around here their generally rusty, oddly shaped, and there are 3/8" holes every 2 inches or so.
so im gunna guess they wouldnt slide good for me.

^yeah, he is right, if you really want to do it though it would be a good idea to file off all the rust and make sure the little wholes aren' sticking up so you don't catch an edge/tear up your skis.

If your talking about the street sign poles that are fat and round then yes they slide good and you'll need two of them. Good luck at getting it out of the ground or sawing it. To acquire one you'll need...
1. Jackhammer (to bust up the concrete that is around it)
or
1. A saw
2. A friend to watch for cars
3. Darkness so no one sees you

yeah. if you use a round metal rail to a street sign it works perfect. to attach it all i did was stick a long thin wooden piece of wood through it and drill the ends into 2x4's it works perfect.

good advice yo.  in my opinion its just so risky.  like i mean using  a hack saw in pitch black and a risk of someone flipping shit out at you? just build one for 15 bucks or just look in some other threads.  also if your talking about sliding medal street signs, go for it, just watchout for the holes
