just had my first session on my summer setup! it turned out way better than i expected. i put some old shingles that i had in the basement down underneath some indoor/outdoor so i was really smooth and fast. i cant wait to make more rails.

like roof shingles. i found some in the basement and put them under the carpert. it made it so the inrun wasnt bumpy, which made it faster

snow fence is fastest without snow but id put some carpet under it so you dont get grass stickin up...but put sontin hard under that like wood or shingles like this guy did makes it much faster then just the ground

about the 10ft pvc length. I found that Menards will order you a 20ft piece for no more than two 10ft pieces 8.88 where i live. but its a pain to get home, even with a truck.
