I just build this for precision training. I mainly built them to use at the next seminar I'll be hosting next sunday, I think they would be great to introduce beginners into percision onto rails. They are the same width of most rails out there and as you can see they are pretty heavy duty so they'll proly last a while. Total cost is about 40 bucks for the pair.   This is what you need. Used non galvanized pipe (the ones for gas, they are darker almost black) cheaper than galvanized, the one thing is that rosts if expose to the elements so Two 1'x24' Eight 1'x6 and I really dont know the name of the piece that ties them together, I call it elbow with a double exit, that one saves you money because you dont need to use anything else to make the angle needed. Besides it is ideal because when jumping onto it send the force towards the ground keeping them stady. Better if used on grass or dirt. |

very nice!  do they move at all when you land on them? why do you suggest using on grass or dirt? have you had problems on carpet at all, i.e. tearing the carpet? |

hahahahahaha....thats such a coincidence. Last night as I was laying in bed falling asleep I was thinking to myself that I need to practice my rail to rail precisions more. But I'd rather train with out the risk of injury, so I decided I'd make precision trainers today. And then I wake up this morning and theres a thread about how to make them!  Thanks for the instructions. |

Oo thats a good idea...but when i saw it i thought it was PVC Piping so i was like wtf?!
But it would make sense to make it out of metal piping...i should make that though just to practice cuz im 98% i can do precisions but i am 100% terrified of doing them haha

I suggest grass or dirt because teh more you use them the more the dig in preventing them from moving. I think carpet should do ok also, so you can also use them as home. |

Well you said it, rubber. Try finding table feet, or anything rubberish you can fit on it.

I've been thinking about making some precision trainers for a while, or maybe a long rail on which to practice balance. However, being on a very tight student budget, even the PVC parallettes I built not long ago set me back more than I wanted to be set back. I've been trying to think of ways to get around the cost of the materials, since metal piping can be costly. Being a good hippie, I decided the best way was to reclaim some piping that has already been thrown away. However, I see a few major issues with this: - Toxicity: How can I know that the piping was not carrying something horrendously bad for me that can't or would be difficult to be cleaned off?
- Sanitation: How can I clean off the piping, including the inner surfaces, sufficiently?
- Integrity: How can I make sure it will not snap when used?
- Searching: Where would I find this kind of piping?
Any ideas? |
