PVC drop in

So I tried to search function this and found nothing. Anyone built a drop with PVC Rollers? Ripped this video from youtube but that's what I'm talking about. It seems easy to throw together and like it would reduce friction. Any thoughts appreciated.

Yea that is pretty sick- something to think about next year when I have a bigger yard. My house now is in NE Portland so my yard is small, so I can't go as big with the drop in. Rollers is def a good idea...

well pvc is slippery as hell so wouldnt you just be able to nail them and go on top of it?

I have a pvc drop in.  I am having some problems with it right now but I am putting up a video for help within the next week or so.

What problems you having? I just built mine and it is sick, but I am worried the PVC will wear down and it will need to be waxed a ton. I'll post some pics soon.

get the gray pvc its stronger, and make sure your take off is turf if you want traction to rotate onto the rail. you shouldnt have to wax the pvc, and it is going to take a fuckload of runs to wear down the pvc, so dont worry about that
