depends on how longs are your rails, pvc slide so well that you can shred some 30ft rails with almost no speed.

Mine's arround 40ft(my drop in is really steep and short but my rails are long)

i was thinking a 6-8' drop in height with probably a 8-10' rail. mostly completely the same as the thread posted above

heres mine, and it is quitee large.

you need at least 15 feet of rail if you wanna do anything good on it too.

pretty sick drop in and edit, its almost the exact same concept as my friends. We built it using his old swing set thing leading to a 21 foot rail

Why? Im not really good so for the first rail it would just be to really learn my balance, then i would make a bigger one

or just make a 10 foot one and save yourself the time and money of making another later. Trust me, when you are sliding a rail, anything less than 10 feet seems like nothing
