Review on 🛹 Enhance Your Skateboarding Experience with Powell Peralta Rib Bones Skateboard Rails! by Vedavyas Fleming

Today's tapes are very different from the Powell tapes I rode in the 1980's. The old rib bones were wider, only had 4 holes, and came with Powell "Rat Nuts" T-Nuts, which were much stronger than tiny wood screws. They are much narrower, have 5 holes and are only attached with screws. Luckily I can't skim the rails as aggressively as I could 30 years ago, so bolt strength doesn't seem to be an issue. And I see pro riders like Steve Caballero riding long rock 'n' roll boardbags in concrete pools with these rails. Therefore, the screws must be sufficiently reliable. Also, it's a faster installation and less risk of damaging the deck if you don't have to drill holes to attach the rails to the deck. I know most people don't even use splints anymore. But I'm an old guy who likes to ride old boards with old settings. So I still use rib bones and they still work.
