Rails

Ok guys don't mean to beat a horse on this if it has been covered in depth already.

I know I read somewhere on here about the XTX rails bending when guys have jumped with it. Has this been a big issue with many or just a select few who have tail landed. I am no cross racer and don't jump like one either, but like to occasionally put a little air under the track. Should I look to support the tipped up rails some how, or just ride the thing like I stole it. ??????????????????????

Here are some plates to reinforce those rails so it will never bend.

Berge75,
Nice job on the reinforcements. I was going to do the same, ended up with the iceage rails. Are they aluminum? Did you make them?

yeah nice aluminum or even carbon fiber would be cool

I had these cut out at a local shop that has a water jet. I used 6061 aluminum. These bolt on in a few minutes with just the plasic spacer being cut down 1/4 inch. Mach3 saved this design on his compuer,so he can cut more of them at any time.
I ride this sled hard and did not want to take a chance on buckling the stock plates and recking the rails. Cheap insurance
