Building my setup need help

[landonn]

hey, im starting to build my setup and i got some questions. i am planning on having a 20' pvc rail and i was wondering if pvc slides well. second, i was planning on making my drop in 8 feet tall and have the in run 32 feet long. is the inrun to long? and lastly, is there any solution to astroturf, to have this long of an inrun annd have it 4 feet wide, does it need to be this wide. just wondering and your help would be great. thanks.

use pvc for the down ramp, just wax & lather it and it slides fast as crap, ill send you the link to my thread

pvc slides amazingly well man. and 32 feet does seem really long, like you might lose your speed. i just built one 7 ft tall and the runins not nearly that long and we barely have enough speed

if the in run is 32 feet it all depends on the slope..if its flat you wont have enough speed. if its down hill you should be okay. You can try snow fence (orange stuff) i guess it works well. I have always found turf and soap to work well.
