A couple of flat rails, aframe, battleship,donkey flat up type of deal.

My buddy used to have a much and built some curved ones. rainbow, flat to kicker, etc.

Pretty cheap to build. Elbows and ztubes are sick and pretty rewarding to practice on.

get some steel and weld some flat rails. Imo steel is quicker than pvc especially when it’s warm. Also pvc tends to crack in wicked cold

Pvc slide pretty fast imo but ita kind of a weird slide.

I agree it's nice to have some steel rails if you have a few extra bucks. Also worthwhile to buy a cheap welder and some steel and learn how to weld.

A few hundred bucks at harbor freight into a cheap welder goes along way for beginning

Make a circle rail so you can slide it as long as you want
