iv got a 15 foot pvc rail but i dont have a drop in so i step on and can make it to the end

pvc is really slippery and you dont need much speed for it

PVC Slide so much you need a 5 foot inrun and you can clear it... and if you have less just put it downhill and it's gonna be alright

you can slide with minimal speed if you have really dull or no edges

dude PVC is rediculous, if you have it double barreled, you should be able to keep balanced at slow speed, or single you'll need a bit more, not much.

whats your set up?

Ha my dad always assumes things and is convinced he is right. like when i was building a summer set up he was convinced that an inrun that was 2 feet wide was more than enough. I was like right....

you wont have enough speed. you need a snowmobile tow in and a jet pack to get more than 5 feet across PVC. good luck you homo i love you
