I can either build a donkey or a flat-up-flat/down-flat-down. Which do you think would end up being better in a backyard setup

flat up flat? I'd go for the dfd, i mean if you end up wanting a donkey dick you can just add it on to the end right?

FUF, but three flat rails would do you more good

dfd's are more common in parks and urban so it would probably be best to get the most familiar with that rail

Donk would be the easiest build, but make sure you properly and securely stabilize the donk. I built one, and it broke after a few days.

Yeah ive skied a few of those, i always find myself taking too much juice into it though and just sorta hitting flat then flat. A lot of fun though if you hit it right.

What kind of landscape are you working with? DFD's are tought to fit onto flat ground. A dfd would probably be better for you but a fuf would fit the approach better if it's flat.A donkey would work well too as you could lay it flat.


A frames, battleships, flat rails, elbows, z rails, c rails etc will work great on flat ground. Dfd's, flat downs, and other you want a hill. Also if you have a hill try and match the pitch with the downs. That will save you some headache when setting it up.
