aight so my shop teacher at my school is super into welding rails, last year he helped us make a 20ft flat bar rail
he wants to know what kinda rail we want to build this year, so im reaching out to u guys for some ideas,

 i want it to be:

- something with a kink or a curve to it

-not quite as mellow and easy as the flat bar rail

-mellow enough that you could still do shit on it(switchups), so for instance not a ridiulous dfdfd


thanks!

using flat bar, make a down, flat, down curve either left or right... just dont make it a sharp curve. or something with an elbow in it

Really good idea. you can have a lot of fun with that, and I don't think it's too hard to build.

A simple mellow double kink is always a winning feature too.

id say just go with a simple flat down - tat should be fairly mellow but perfect for practicing stuff like switch-ups, 270's on, 270's off and the like

You should make a FDF/DFD, like make it so you can reverse it and stuff, that would be sweet.  I don't know how you could though, but if it you made it mellow enough I'm sure it would work.
