I built a coaster with one roller with 2x4 and then a piece of siding (flexable) over them with three 1/4 inch pvc side by side. Waiting for first snow. Drill out the pvc from the sides so there are not holes on top, even though they don't hurt you really.

well be careful building stuff out of pvc, because when it gets cold, it frezes cracks and breaks.

Yeah, a couple of years ago some snowboarders built a cheap small flat rail out of pvc near my buddys apartement. Everyone else was a snowboarder so they were just riding onto it and 50-50 it. I tried a 270 onto it and busted it completely. Needless to say the knuckledraggers were pissed at me. Anyway, morale of the story is be careful with pvc cause its gonna break if you land on it
