before you post in ski gabber, wait at least a day, jesus, you expect everyone to contribute within an hour?

anyways, i would go something like 8-8-8- or 6-8-6 depending on how much speed you have. as for angles, im not sure, try to find a picture of a park's fdf and you can trace the angle from your screen onto a piece of paper then measure with a protractor, or pm a park guy on NS like stoweparks and just ask them. hope that helps

i would not make them shorter than 8ft. personally i think 10ft sections would be dope and it wouldnt be hard to get enough speed for it.
