Max Quinn Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 How about a garden type bamboo cane thingy for the actual bar? Nice and light so no worries or it hitting/falling on you and it would be cheap/easy to replace. As for how to hold it up jus 2 pieces of wood that are standing up on some sort of stand, an then jus shove nails into them every 5cm or whatever. The nail heads should generally keep the bamboo stick on but when any real force is applied it should be knocked off.Sounds simple and easy no?Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad dan Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 If I was you I wouldn’t use a rail I would use some tape like the stuff the police use other wise it might damage you or your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I made one out of two broom handles for the uprights, just two pieces nailed together as a cross (X) on the bottom to make them stand (weight them down too, makes it more stable)I then measured (from the floor) and marked every half inch, then I drilled holes in the marks so I could put a nail in which ever I fancied.I used a small piece of bamboo as the actual bar, but it tended to flex and snap if you landed on it.You could use tape as said above but I doubt it would last long, or maybe a piece of string with small weights on the end hung over the nails, that would keep it perfectly level. Look around your house, you'll find somthing suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammerz Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I use two metal rodes which I stab into the ground and then put some of that police style tape rapped around the two posts, then if you miss the sidehop you don't cause any harm to oneself.Hope this helps Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
