These construction workers said I could use this huge corrugated tube for my backyard setup, but idk if i can generate enough speed to not catch an edge. Any of you guys tried it?

Unless you have a pretty big drop in, you’ll lose too much speed once you hop on just to slide it. Let alone trying to do swaps an shit

probably not good for sliding but if you put it sideways you can do stalls and stuff on it

Depends on speed and how hard the corrugated tube is but they're usable

They’re good for 50/50ing and that’s about it.

Should be fine, people are over intimidated by corrugated tubes

no

you probably won't have enough speed to actually learn much in a normal backyard dropin
additionally, the entire point of a backyard setup is to learn swaps and whatnot imo
not the best place to learn

Yea, I probably won't take it then. The whole point of me taking would be to have a super long rail so I wouldn't have to put others together, but if swaps will be hard its probably not worth it.

I would take it. More variation on set up = more skills gained and more fun..

Ima have disagree with you here chief, I spend most of my days in the yard as opposed to the mountain, and tbh I ski best here so for me I tend to get creative with what I make but that's just me to each his own

No shit
I’m saying the backyard on corrugated is not the best way to learn stuff, opposed to pvc

You right. I actually recommend making metal shotgun rails, they last longer and are similarly easy to learn tricks on than pvc, just a little higher up front process.

What is a good diameter for each metal piece of the shotgun rail?

I believe 1.5-2 inches I'll get back to you when I measure it
