You should build an elbow or a z rail out of thick tube, just sayin. You got the skills. And I think one of those would be fun as hell! Presses galore.

Wait, where are you getting materials from? I gotta spend a lot on raw materials at a home improvement store.

I have that one which is finished, 3" single tube. then I'm also building one at my cabin which is a 4" shotgun with a less steep kink that isn't quite finished (it's hard to get materials in a rural area). but I'm really hyped to hit them.

thanks, and definitely do that. the one I just built today at my house turned out sharper than i thought, i don't think I've hit a kink that steep before... well, it'll be good to get used to steeper kinks on. I have plans to hit a huge DFD around that steepness, maybe steeper. I better be fricken ready, look out for it on #weldcandywednesday

seriously, Krepela, Boville, and Imlach hit that first one earlier this year. It's in the BBC urban skiing video. Also I saw a 4bi9 instagram post with John Ware standing at the top of it. the lip that's built in the pic is probably leftover from the 4bi9 sesh.

Thanks for the inspiration/help with your triple shotgun! Heres the one that I built:

Super sturdy and fun to ride, about 10ft long so its pretty short but its the longest length of PVC I could get without having to use two pieces. I think I might eventually use bortys old idea of linking up two jibs with some pallets because I still have a decent amount of speed after I slide my rail, and that is without any soap on the drop in or using my special drop in extension. I might make a tutorial for how to make a rail like this if enough people want it.

I have no idea why its sideways.

That is a sick rail, and you are super lucky to have a downhill section like that, you could sesh some crazy dfds on that.

What method do you normally use for attaching your rail to the wood?

On my triple shotgun I bolted the ends down, and then added around 6 screws to each pipe, pretty evenly spread and it holds up great with hardly any wobble.

i know many of you dont have these on hand, but you can bend pvc very easily depending on the type that it is. they make things called heating blankets and if you heat up pvc enough it will become bendable and you could bend any way you like. ive done it countless times at work. though im not sure how it would work with standard home pvc. might only be electrical pvc but its worth a shot if anyone has done it before
