If you had 64 feet of rail

So. I have eight 8 foot metal 1" x 2 1/2" square tubes. These could be turned into any assortment of rails.

Currently thinking a 24' DFD, a 24' flat, and a 16' FD.

What would you make with them?

And bending is definitely an option, we have the technology.
 
Is this for a hill? Because then you just build what you need or are lacking. Oh and what are you using to make the frame?

Bending a square for a c would be weird, I'd only go rainbow or something of that sort.

I'd make a mellow battle ship, flat down with a longer down section, and one of those up to down rails where the up is more or less just a small pole jam to a regular down rail.
 
An flat bar s rail could be really nice, just bend it like a box would be bent, you'd have to get the perfect angle tho

there's several tons of assorted metal, scrap and otherwise, to find what I need for legs/feet. shouldn't be a problem at all.

word word. Just wanted to make sure you weren't planning more rails than you had steel for.

IMO, 24' s kind of short for a dfd. Anything under 10' on the downs is tight and you're looking at 9' or 10' at the longest that way. Flat bar is def legit, a feature you need. Same with the 16' FD. Kind of short imo.

I would thinking about scrapping one of them to make the other a bit longer. Or if you have any similar steel in smaller lengths. Maybe something long enough for your DFD flat.

That said it depends who's going to be using them. And that's just my thoughts. I tend to go long and mellow, and everyone's different.
 
personnally I wouldn't make the dfd, unless you use up more metal and make it longer sections, nothing worse than an unmellow dfd.

I'd make a fd (more of a slightly up to slightly down)

A waterfall (1 kink, and you can always add a flat bar at the end if you want 2 kinks), they're waaaay too fun

A flat straight to left/right (forgot the name, "L" ?) switch up on those are fucking awesome.

Definitly prioritize a long flat bar though
