i want to make a rail like that. did you use half inch pvc on that? because i think i might try out some smaller pvc like half inch or inch this time seems like it might work a little better and wont chip off as easy
 
The quarter pipe thing is gonna be put up against a tree for a tree jib. It's not setup yet because we actually need real snow to hit a tree jib. The mats are just tarp and the works really well. We just put a little snow on top of them and it slid perfectly. There's gonna be a flat down box next to the flatbar and a wallride type deal later.
 
We used 1 inch pvc. It was really easy to screw down and slid super well. The rail is 14 feet long so we had to use two pieces, but putting them together wasn't a problem
 
that rail looks like five feet long is it longer than that or do put on the end of like a flat down so you make a flat down flat
 
it looks a lil longer then then garage door and most a like 9' wide so thats prolly a 10' rail but thats just waht i think
 
cuz in most peoples backyards that means the start will be way to high an it will take to much work to make a launch and get enough speed to get up there.
 
^^^yea lol... its only like 8ft, that was jus the size of that material i could find... im gonna make another and hopefully make it 2x as long
 
yeah 16 is a good length. A lot of material comes in that length too. But you don't have to 1 piece everything. My box is twenty feet and made of a couple of sheets of hdpe.
 
i dont know its not my setup, its snowjibber's. i just posted his pics on the thread because he gave us a link to those pics and its easier to just look at the pic if its on the thread.
 
no its not hard at all, its layed against a picnic table and we got steps goin up that, so we jus lay r skis up there, click in, then drop in... this pic might giv u a better angle, (or it may make it look mor like a deathtrap lol)

it works for us, its kinda funny too, we cut the box a lil shorter at one point and now we use that piece as the drop in
 
naa, u dont really need to turn much at all,,, again its the angle i took the pic at, but im currently trying to build a new drop in anyways (a lil less involved)
 
oh ya. sorry. got a little off topic their.

so did you ride on your grass or did you put turf or snowfence or something on the grass right before your box.
 
yea we eventually got mor turf and thru it down in that space and on the landing, to make it a lil mor slippery we sprayed it down wit soapy water too, it worked out pretty nicely
 
unless you make them so you can mess around with the setup like an up-down down-flat up-flat ect 8ft might get old after a lil while but thats a good build plan for your rail
 
how tall should a jib be? i have a rail road tie that is like 10inches tall, think my skis would catch the ground?
 
i used to a have a pvc setup with a drop in and atsroturf and a kicker, but i realized that moving it around was way too much work. thats why i built this:

a down box coming off of my trampoline. its really fun and stable, and you can jump from the trampoline onto the box if you want. heres another angle

heres a picture of the material i used. after using lexan and pvc, i highly reccomend this over anything.

its composite (artifical, plastic) decking that i got at Menards. really slippery and rediculously cheap. it costs 10$ per 8 foot board. extremely durable but must be kept clean so it will always slide well. jea.
 
sick i was gunna make a rail out of the exact same stuff but was leery as to how well it would work
