I don't get this, normally these competitions are for people who have
never done a trick before and they start when a few people have signed
up for it. You have claimed the sig for a competition you have set up
about an hour after first announcing the competition.
One other thing, what happened to rule 3 in your rules at the top?

'This website' (http://mistupid.com/homeimpr/lumber.htm) says the
skinny end is 1 1/2". But I think that 1 1/2" would be a more
appropriate width...a 1" rail will be nearly impossible to come by.
