I used to be interested in getting a ramp logic rail, but didn't have the funds then. I have them now, but can't find ramp logic anywhere. Where can ramp logic products be found, or what is a good alternative? I want at least 7 feet long, and at least 15 inches high at its max, and I'd prefer it round. Any Ideas?

if you're good at welding and such, you could just make your own.... thats what i did.... and it turned out pretty good

I'm not, don't know how to weld at all, nor do I own a welder.

Do you have access to duct tape? (Shiny silver, not the Matte Grey.)

ok first of all, don't listen to anyone whos going to tell you how to build a rail with duct tape. second why do you prefer round? i understand sometimes its fun to skate a round rail and its alittle different than square and requires someone to actually have the trick better to be able to do it on a round rail, but i still usually prefer square. also theres two things you can do. i have a square rail that me and my dad welded up but i want to skate a round rail sometimes so i have a picnic table that is one of those plastic topped ones that are pretty common (a little side note, me and my friend actually stole this from a building but thats another story) well anyways i seen in a video once they flipped a picnic table over and were skating the legs of it as a rail off of a little 1.5 ft drop. so i checked out my picnic table and the legs are the same way where they're connected so that it could be skated as a rail, to make it even better my picnic table the top table part can be lowered down so that the table part is actually level with the seats (this is actually to help it collapse because then the legs fold in making it flat.) so if you lower the table part and then flip it, it makes a perfect round rail about 18 inches high. so i skate this as a flat bar when i'm in the mood for a round rail. this is actually the same picnic table i have http://froogle.google.com/froogle_cluster?q=plastic+picnic+table&pid=4838477716346449022&oid=6204781211759281524&btnG=Search+Froogle&oi=froogler&lmode=&addr=&scoring=p&hl=en and its $189 here (or $0 with a five finger discount) and you can see how the bottom legs are one bar that can be skateable and here theres little rubber stopper thingys that can just be unscrewed and taken off.

also here is a ramp logic round rail http://cgi.ebay.com/NIB-RAMP-LOGIC-7-LONG-ROUND-SKATEBOARD-GRIND-RAIL_W0QQitemZ8741092916QQcategoryZ16265QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem

Edward I want round because I've been skating handrails tons lately, I'd like to work on some new grinds. Like 95 percent of handrails are round, so it makes scense to learn to get into them on a round rail, then your set for the handrail.

yeah i understand, i don't know whether you like it or not but i like the picnic table idea because its actually the same exact width and stuff that most handrails are made out of, because usually most handrails aren't as big as the flatbars you can buy. but yeah, if you can do a handrail or two then a round rail is a good idea, plus it usually gets you better at the trick, can't get away with any slop 5-0s on round rails.

he's talking about flatbars to practice on to help him skate handrails because i don't know about you but i usually don't learn my tricks on handrails. oh yeah and if you know where i can get a good deal on an 8 stair handrail let me know.

For instance, I can't bluntslide rails, only ledges. Now am I going to roll up to a 7 stair with a blunt when I've never done one on a rail?
It is hard to believe how stupid people are.
