Powell Peralta Rib Bones Skateboard Rails

Modern Rib-Bones are much different than the Powell Rib-Bones I skated in the 1980's. The old Rib-Bones were wider, only had 4 holes in them, and came with Powell "Rat Nuts" t-nuts that were much more secure than tiny wood screws. These are much more narrow, have 5 holes, and are only held in place with wood screws. Luckily I can't rail slide as aggressively as I could 30 years ago, so the strength of the wood screws doesn't seem to be a problem. And I see pro riders like Steve Caballero doing long rock n roll boardslides in cement pools with these rails. So the wood screws must be secure enough. It's also quicker setup and less risk of ruining your deck if you don't have to drill holes for the rail mounting hardware in the deck. I know most people don't even use rails anymore. But I'm an old guy who likes to ride old boards with old setups. So, I still use Rib-Bones, and they still work.

Again all arrived in excellent condition. I'm very pleased with these set of rails and they went on my Santa Cruz Screaming Hand regular-sized deck just perfectly. The red was a very good color choice I thought. However, since I don't do any tricks or grind, I can't comment on their durability. I just added them to my skateboard for the grip and because they look awesome just like I remembered back in the day. I wish these could be mailed in a box instead of a bubble envelope, but that would probably add to the shipment costs. They arrived in excellent condition and I'm very happy with them. Very speedy shipping, arrived ahead of schedule, all is awesome. Thanks!

They were shipped promptly and were exactly as described. It’ll be nice to not destroy the bottom of my hand painted board thanks to these. (Some people like that worn down grungy look and that’s fine too)

These Red rib rails are bright red and look sick on my Hosoi broad plus make it way easier to hold. Even though I don’t rail grind, these were worth for the ease of side gripping my board now plus the sick looks. Get a set of rails for your broad even if you don’t grind, the ease of carrying it from the side is so clutch, plus matching rails for your board always looks sick!

Love these. Easy to put on your board and definitely help you slide easier.

Used these for my subs to make a space between that and the amp so i can run the cord under it when mounted on the back of the box. Worked perfectly but im sure they work great for skating too. Always used bones stuff when i young and skated a lot.

That hat was exactly what i was lookin for

Item as promised - thanks!

Brilliant makes such a difference to skateboarding I love them

Fantastic. I've previously used PIG Rails and these are a lot easier to fit.

Just as I remember them, fantastic. Quick delivery too.

Perfect

Soy fan de los skate rails que mas puedo decir, son tan estables y resistentes que con solo 3 tornillos (incluso 2) por riel bastan para no perforar mucho la madera.
