Rails

The importance of rails in sliding and deck protection

Mounted under the deck, the plastic strips known as skateboard rails are making a strong comeback on the modern scene. Far more than just an aesthetic nod to old-school culture, rails play a major mechanical role. They make your slides smoother by reducing friction, make the board easier to grip during grabs, and effectively protect your deck's graphic and wood against premature wear.

Technical specifics: slide and durability

Choosing your skateboard rails relies on performance and gear protection criteria:

• A consistent slide: Made of high-density plastic (polyethylene or nylon), rails allow for endless boardslides on rough curbs or copings, even with a minimal amount of wax.
• Pop protection: By taking the direct friction instead of the wood, they prevent your board from fraying. Your deck thus retains its rigidity and pop responsiveness much longer.
• Mechanical stability: Once secured with suitable hardware, they generate zero play. Their thickness also provides an excellent gripping surface for your fingers during aerial tricks.
