make a nice, reasonably high flat rail for spins and stuff, then a down flat would be really cool. Anything would be awesome to have in your backyard.

Flat-downs are sweet because you can do a ton of tricks on them, that's what I have in my yard. I'd say either that or just a flat that's as high as possible.

Depends on how much room you have. My setup is 8-flat 8-down, but that's because it's all I had. I would prefer a 10-flat 15-down, but most people don't have a backyard to accomodate something that long. Ideally, the down section will be slightly longer than the flat section.

if you don't have the space and money, down-flats don't seem very practical, simply because they aren't as trickable as a flat down etc.

measure from your testicles down to the ground, than subtract around 6 inches. that should be how tall the rail is. you'll thank me later
