Should I take this? It's been sitting outside my house for 2 days from some stupid parade where they had to block off the road. It's not made out of wood, it's this hard plastic. I was planning on putting sheet metal over top of it to make it more slideable. What does NS think?

could work. if you put a decent top sheet on and give it some lateral supports so it doesnt crash down when you land on it, it could work. might just wana build your own, but i could see that working decently

This is a waste of a thread.

The question you pose is :

1. Should I take something that could end up being a sick rail?
2. Should I not take something that could end up being a sick rail?

I think the answer is pretty self explanatory.

Put a PVC pipe on top and shred it, that'd be sick

if you haven't taken it by now, you may have moral issues. (take that as you will)

Do it and throw something on the top of it so it slides better, maybe plexi glass or pvc or metal or try to shred wood but it might shred you... good luck

Either that or just bolt to pvc pipes to either side so that you have a sick up dub barrel.  Lots of ways to get creative with that.

dont really know how your going to cover that but good luck. My advice is get a pvc pipe and cut down one side and slide it over the wood and then screw through the side.

Going to put a 2/4 of composite deck material on top. Super slippery, needs no waxage.
