ok, first off: im building a flat up flat box, out of 2x4s + plywood, with hdpe on the top.
2 questions.
i was gonna have the kink go from 2' to 5', 3' rise over 8', making it about a 21.8 degree rise. is that too steep? or can i go steeper?
and two: i was going to build it in 8' sections, so it could be dissasembled and fit into my truck. is 24' long enough to be a decent slide? (8foot flat to 8foot kink to 8foot flat)I was thinking an 8' section isnt very long..

hit an urban fdf backwards, cause there was this huge hill banking towards the rail at the bottom, and the sidewalk turned. threw some snow on it, built a kicker, it was possibly the most fun ive had doing urban, cause you could throw swups to 270 out, or 450s out and gap the flat, and its just something new, ya know? trying to get some variety in my backyard park. plus, the aspen railjam where they had a f-u-f killed it.

The second flat may not be worth it but do what you want.


I have a 8 foot flat-8 foot down. I don't think the second flat part would be fun.

but i like the thinking
