 Looking really good!!! A metal file might help to clean up the edges. A belt sander can also help clean up edges.

My only other advice is that you 'might' want to place 1 or two crossbars from one side to the other to keep each side from bowing outward or inward. That would help to stabilize the framework, and it would also take some of the stress off of the frame 'legs' and truck bolt assemblies.

I love how good you are at making things. Good work!

 oh i dont need any extra support. biff, i weigh half as much as you do lol. i have had a similar set of sliders and never had a problem over the past few years. i am not sure if i should widen the arch but i think its ok. hopefully thurs it will be dry and i can stop by the skatepark to see if its good enough. thanks for the feedback!

i just found out i won 2 more sculpture scholarships, so yay me! money for my projects, art and classes. :D
