Original Rib Bones Shape, Built to Last
The Powell Peralta Rib Bones Rails are the authentic reissue of one of skateboarding's most recognized accessories. Molded from 2nd Generation Hardgrade Nylon, these rails snap onto the underside of your deck and take the punishment that would otherwise destroy a collector graphic or a freshly pressed re-issue. The original Rib Bones profile is narrow enough to stay out of the way of your pop while still giving you a functional slide surface on curbs, ledges, and coping.
Skateboarding in the 1980s was defined as much by what was on the bottom of a deck as what was on top. Rails were functional then and they are functional now: they protect the underside graphic during nose slides, tail slides, and board grabs, and they add a subtle feel to grind tricks by raising the board edge off a surface. Whether you are completing a re-issue build or adding a utilitarian upgrade to a modern shape, the Rib Bones profile delivers without adding unnecessary bulk.
Powell Peralta Rib Bones Rails: Construction and Features
- 2nd Generation Hardgrade Nylon construction for durability and flex resistance
- 14.5" x 0.35" profile matches the original Rib Bones geometry

- Mounting screws included, no separate hardware purchase required
- Lightweight design that does not affect deck feel or pop
Connecting With 1980s Skate Culture
Powell Peralta has been at the center of skateboard history since the Bones Brigade era. The Rib Bones Rails reissue connects directly to that lineage, offering the same profile that decorated decks ridden by some of the most influential skaters of the decade. Running them on a classic reissue or a modern shape with an old school twist is a straight line back to the roots of modern street and ramp skating.
