Ok so where i like there is no bmx scene whatso ever. NONE. So when my friend got a bike i was psyched. So i was at his house and he said he was making a rail out of PVC piping. I took a look and thought that it would probobly brake. it was about 1.5 inches width including the hole and about .25-.5 cm for the material itself. I think that it wont work out that will and he'll eat road. Please reply soon so he doesnt need new teeth thanx:D

Go down to the second hand store and ask them to sell you some bed frames, cut off the ends and you have angle iron to armor up a grind box with. Super cheap. Make this -> http://rampplans.org/ramps/Bud_Stratford/images/Box/BoxPage1.png.html

Won't work unless you fill the pipes with something. But still don't recomend it.
