| Just an idea, But I think it would be cool if someone made an adjustable rail. Basically, you can adjust the height etc. Also, I think a cool feature would be to be able to snap the legs inwards so you could transport it as a "flat pack" almost. If you've ever seen them scooters where the bars go up and down, it could be built around the same concept as that What do yaaaaaaaa'll think? Just an idea, idc about hate if you have any |

| I was actually thinking about an adjustable feature the other day. I don't think it would affect the performance, it would be sort of like a skateboard rail that you would buy. |

| thats actually an epic idea :O but it would have to be high all the time pretty much..... hard to explain, but, if the bottom piece, with the springy things were to reach the top of the other piece, it would have to be equal length. then as it goes down the holes, it would get higher, cant explain it that good haha |

| If the rail actually moved a tad bit when you did tricks, that'd be sick, 'cuz it'd be like an actual rail. |

| Too small to be strong enough to use, i've thought about using the "bouncing ballbearing" thing with truck designs and axles, just wouldn't work. |

| You could so easily do it, rather than the whole push button idea you can simply use a nut and bolt method, it would work perfectly fine and depending on the size's of bars you use it could have little wiggle or no wiggle at all. Really anything is possible and now that you got my mind going i might want to try this out for myself and tell you guys how it went. |

I think a multi-use rail would be pretty kewl. The idea came about when I was thinking about my summer holiday and what i was gonna' take. I was thinking just a kicker and a rail but a foldable one would be epic |

| What Dillon said ^^ At least the skate rail that I have, it's adjustable by a pin. You can see it pretty well in this picture: |

| i have always wondered why they ad those extra stumps in the middle im guessing its for extra support but i have never used or seen one in the video where it actually touches the ground it always just bends down i guess that thing migh be there to keep it from bending any further. Great idea though i might try to make one this weekend |
