[HeathR]

[MadSteezin]

Heres the pics!

My Drop-in

My 18ft box!

 

[_Joe_]

looks pretty sick

 

[MadSteezin]

ya i haven't been able to hit the new box that i added on. The 10ft box.

 

[Jwenz]

looks pretty sick, what is the top

 

[MadSteezin]

HDPE. I was finally able to hit it and its so much fun! I did a unnaty 180 to unnaty 270 off.

 

[.SteezusChrist.]

how much did that hdpe cost you?

 

[MadSteezin]

$80 for 3 pieces that were 5ft x 3ft. But I got them at Boeing Surplus so I don't think you'll be able to get them for that low of a price.

 

[mattytru]

What did you use to make the box?

 

[MadSteezin]

Is that a joke? Anyways I used...

-Wood

-Screws

-Drill

-HDPE (Topsheet)

 

[TerminatorX]

is it 1/2" because i bought a 4x4 sheet of 1/4" hdpe for $37

 

[MadSteezin]

its either 1/4 or 1/2

 

[Raehn]

what did you use for the inrun IE the green shit. looks like a high quality indoor outdoor carpet? im using some cheap fake golf green stuff and well it doesnt work to well. how does that work?

 

[TerminatorX]

it looks like he is using astroturf like you and most other people with summer setups. astroturf works well form me. have you tried putting some dish cleaning soap on your asroturf. it works great.

 

[MadSteezin]

Pretty simple... I went to Home Depot and got outdoor carpeting.

 

[Raehn]

yea i went to home depot and got a bit for my tranny and even with water and dishsoap it just seems to not slide very well at all.

 

[MadSteezin]

Use outdoor carpet for the whole thing except the landing where you should use tarp. Also you try strips of plastic like 2-3" wide every foot or two down the drop-in and you'll get more speed. And put dish soap in a bucket and fill it up with water and use a brush thing that you use to wash a car and use it to put the soap/water on the setup.

 

[Jwalk]

Instead of using the ladder to get on the drop in put 2x4's across the back two posts I did that on mine and it works great I'll probably post pics of my setup later

 

[MadSteezin]

I'd do that but I would want the top to actually be wider before I go and do all of that.

 

[GUZ]

thats sick dude good job

 

[jmason]

How did you cut the HDPE? Did you do it yoruself or did you get somebody to cut if for you professionally?

 

[TerminatorX]

i used a table saw

 

[DUBIE]

sick

I'm almost done making a box. Its only 8 ft but I'm getting HDPE for the top. The plastics place I called said they could get me a 10" by 8' sheet thats 1/8" thick for $20. Now I'm worried that 1/8 is too thin. What do you think.

 

[ILoveOhio]

1/8" HDPE is really thin but I was able to countersink it to my rail barely. On my box

I used 1/4" and it's so much more solid. But 1/8" is possible, just pretty sketch. Also 8' is short dude. I'd go with atleast 10' or

12'....or make 2 8' boxes like i did.s really think but I was able to countersink it to my rail. On my box I used 1/4" and it's so much more solid. But 1/8" is possible, just use coping i guess. Also 8' is short dude. I'd go with atleast 10' or 12'....or make 2 8' boxes like i did.

 

[tSki]

thats such an odd trick description..

 

[finnafuckyobitch]

directions?

 

[Karcher]

that looks like so much fun dude...you are so lucky

 

[Bloom.]

madsteezin: did you countersink the screws?

 

[PeteyG]

wait, 180 on 270 off means youll come off perpendicular to the rail....?

 

[.d.]

maybe snowboard? 180 on, slid 90 going down the box, then 270 off

 

[solitaryman]

no morons, he did an unnatty switch up hence the "180" unnaty 2sev out.
