good idea but i doubt it will work. When you get onto a rail it will bend, putting increased pressure on that joint and most likely a gap will form catching your edge, breaking your hip. Good idea but that is what I see as a flaw
i dont see what your talking about, its all going to be welded, well be held together by cotter pins, the pieces are only in 5 foot lengths so the will have planty of support, and everything will be machined on a metal lathe to it fits together seemlessly, i was also thinkinking of lathing the outter surface of the femal connection part with a forward V slant and the male part will be machined in so that the femal part will actully connect in about an eighth on an inch under the male part

dude i dont think you understand what prins is saying. if you weld it all together which you claim you are going to do, that will make your idea pointless and make it just like any other rial out there. a rail needs to bend what you get on and all yours is going to is bend and come apart, causeing 'broken hips'. like prins says its a good idea but you need to fix some shit first. trying making the female ends longer than what they are to compasate for the flex the rail will get when you jump on. and just another hint, make the base size bigger so you will have a stable rail. then you will have one kick ass portable assembleable greasable rail. tru
