    This set of videos is the BEST I have view! You did a great job creating them, Thank You. FYI: My son, Eagle Scout and now Scout Master, lived in Ladysmith for 4 years until he moved back to PA.

    Great video. I watched a dozen videos on rail riding, but no one explained it better than you.

    Not all scout classes have the same rules. My sons pack allows for axle modification.

    Are you bending axels after or before polishing them ? Or you repolosh them after bending

    It’s not less friction that makes it faster, it’s spinning fewer wheels. It takes energy to spin the wheels. Lift one up, means one less wheel to spin. Friction is proportional to weight, reducing the surface area just puts more weight on less area, and friction remains the same. Fr

    You need to look into that cuz that's not at all what it is and yes it to reduce depression by lifting one-wheel fortunes two things rubbing

    I think you bent it to close to the nail head. Next time, stick the nail through the wheel...where the nail comes out, mark it with a perm marker. Then bend it from that point. I put it in my drill chuck and spin it against a slow running dremmel tool. Then put the nail in my vice just under the dremmel cut line. Then take a flat head SD and gently tap the cut line a couple times until you have a bent axle.

    Stop saying Scout Class rules are this or that, the official BSA rules are very basic. Each Pack and District may have their own rules that differ from the BSA rules so what may be legal for you could be illegal for me. If you don't know just ask!

    All of these videos are made specifically for our Pack. So when we refer to "Scout class" we are talking our Packs specific rules...not general rules. :)
