This is the first rail ive built. Got a couple tips from Misty7, thanks bro. The whole rail is 16.5' long, but singe it has a double kink, the total length of the top of the rail is almost 18'. Just wanted to see what you guys think.

1 prob might be that you have to go slow to grind such a small, steep downslope, but it wouldn't leave you with enough speed to finish off the rail

That's the way it was initially built to be used but we changed plans along the way. Maybe we have to change it back, just have to elevate the pvc the other way.

'In rode the Lord of the Nazgul. A great black shape against the fires beyond, he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgul, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.
All save one. There, waiting silent and still in the space before the gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax : Shadowfax, who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen.'

that's badass I am doing the same thing but bend instead of kink 2x4 structure with flexable siding for top piece and then teflon plastic strip (3 in wide) on top same idea that way you can flip it around and exit off the top end (mini coaster) or have it like that aspen rail sort of and start up top nice work

Thanks for all the comments everyone. After reading all this, ive been doing a lot of thinking bout partially rippig it up and making the kink less steep and longer. It will be a lot of work, but i think it will be worth it in the end. I might also build a 15-17 foot flat to practice spinning off and on.
