# Nogglesrails DIY Onchain Obstacles *Pushing boundaries with Gnars DAO - where action sports meet onchain creativity.* By [Gnarly News](https://paragraph.com/@gnars) · 2026-02-25 gnars, nouns, gnarlynews, nounish, gnarly, noggles, sports, onchain, dao, gnarsdao --- ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b02b9fbd4c2d10074918450eb30464643516cfb55a5a51ed4dfa1e076749cc1c.gif) 1\. Origins ----------- Everything started years ago with a simple but radical proposal by **Pharra and Vlad (sktbrd)** from the **XV Collective**. The idea was clear: build skate obstacles rooted in DIY culture, open-source thinking, and real street energy, later becoming one of the earliest onchain-born physical experiments within Gnars DAO. Take a look at this documentary, where the creator explains the origins of the project and the launch of the NogglesDELTA. [\[Full Doc Here\]](https://www.gnars.com/droposals/88) 2\. Open-Source as a Weapon --------------------------- One of the first Gnars droposals was an [**open-source PDF**](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MwAEBKHuFhgDB7HrI1PjMSNq5wkPDvLB) created by Pharra, documenting how to build a Nogglesrail. This document enabled replication across cities and countries, turning a single idea into a global, permissionless skate infrastructure. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0a979a3951608124b6400d70c03ed275ba2119a3cbd66908a9f400058baaf47f.gif) Ensure aesthetic fidelity, quality, and durability to create new pieces of this infinite art. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4d22dc0bbc6933764147f54a0156b6001e107d1816e18a99a196aaf91a59076a.png) "After the completion of the first Noggles Rail and its subsequent success, many members of the Gnars community were inspired to build their own sculpture glasses in their cities. However, as the creator of the original piece, I noticed that many of these attempts contained errors in design or execution, potentially affecting their durability. To address this, I decided to create a detailed guide to ensure that Noggles Rails can be constructed correctly and maintain high quality worldwide." - Pharra 3\. From One Rail to Many Nounstacles ------------------------------------- ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/721ebd13445fa4e624659c7138b6443735714cda1d17ed6ca8fe220c3d88165e.png) What began as a single rail evolved into a network of **Nounstacles** spread across different countries. Each build reflects its local context while staying connected through shared design language, Nounish aesthetics, and Gnars values.

This led to the development of fully branded Noggles wakeboard ramps, Megaramp and Thrasher Mag, a snowboard grind tube deployed in Japan, the Noggles Delta selected through an onchain Gnars DAO vote among four proposed obstacle models, and other activations that further nounified physical infrastructure translating decentralized consensus into tangible cultural impact. DIY, Onchain, Alive ------------------- ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f169f329f8779cfdd4e5dab7c4eb898dc72bb74a3bd747b4b4e972a13b3e61fc.png) Nogglesrails or Nounstacles prove that onchain coordination can materialize into "concrete", skateable infrastructure. Through cash for tricks, events, exposition, Gnars contests, viral Instagram clips, and global replication, the project keeps the **DIY spirit alive** while spreading Noggles culture in a way no traditional brand or institution could. This is an onchain-born project **Gnars DAO** and it’s still alive bro, still rolling, and still being built. * * * ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f5ce3c267386c89b76698e0daaa32d36dc509c7e6737b48a8326873961c0bc22.png) _This document is intended to evolve over time, with new rails, countries, media, and stories_ [_continuously added_](https://www.gnars.com/map)_._ ⌐◨-◨ [Gnars Website](https://www.gnars.com/) ⌐◨-◨ [Gnars Warpcast Community](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/gnars) ⌐◨-◨ [Gnars on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@gnars_dao/featured) ⌐◨-◨ [Gnars on Hive](https://peakd.com/@gnars) ⌐◨-◨ [Gnars Zora Community](https://zora.co/@gnarscommunity) ⌐◨-◨ [That's Gnarly](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/drop) ⌐◨-◨ [Gnars on Giveth](https://giveth.io/project/gnars-dao) * * * --- *Originally published on [Gnarly News](https://paragraph.com/@gnars/nogglesrails-diy-onchain-obstacles)*
