Review on ๐Ÿ›น Powell Peralta Tail Bone White - 8" Protective Skateboard Accessory by Brody Jacobs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent slip resistance, terrible attachment

The bones themselves are great. They are durable and wear well. They're a bit thick for 3/8 inch, but that's ok. My biggest complaint is that the hardware sucks. #8 x 3/4" is a terrible choice. The flat tip of the screw doesn't want to dig into the bone. The heads look like cheap drywall screws sticking out of the board. They're not deep enough (too short) to really grabbing the bones. One of mine fell off after day one. The 7/32" pilot hole is too big and too angled. Maybe try the 3/16". I replaced all the #10 x 1 screws and sanded the tip of the screw, it's much stronger now.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Easy repairability
