Because we want to have fun, and not severely injure ourselves, we make stoppers on either side of the board, so we don't go flying of in the event of an over balance, shall I say...

I used pine board left over from a homemade t.v. stand, anything works.As long as it can be secured tightly to the board.

I cut two blocks about 1 inch wide by 3 inches long.

I then applied polyurethane glue to both the board and the stopper.

Next, drill some pilot holes, because pine is stupid, and it splits. Then insert some screws that wll go all the way through. If you are cool, like me....or just plain Canadian, you will use Robinson screws, because they are the utmost best screws on earth!

I put four screws on each stopper, so the block would conform to the decks concave.

Now you won't fall....

I've used my x-ray in past instructables. Just remember, if you don't make stoppers, your arm could end up like this, and oh boy, you don't want that! This is my left humerus about 2 months ago.
