Drop in is sections of 'dendex' dry slope material, which we 'borrowed' from the local dry slope. Its pretty slidey, especially when you put some water on it. Im gonna make the drop in bigger though because you don't get as much speed as i want. The drop in tower is just a load of pallets nailed together, works well, fairly sturdy.
Rail is made of 1.5in diameter piping which i fund in a nearby field, ha...seems to be strong enough
were you drunk when you built this
how tall is the drop in??
me and my friend made one that is 6 foot drop in with a 8 foot ramp going down it
Yeah, I heard you could rip your arm out of the socket pretty easily on that stuff. Still I have been looking all over for some Dendex that we could use for a summer setup in Co. I really think that the low cost solution which will probably work just as good if not better is just to get ahold of some old carpet remnants, nail them down to your ramp and then just soak it down with water and bio dish soap or bio degreaser.
I have huge respect for the NSers from the UK. It's not like anything is cheap or easy to do over there. A buddy of mine that I used to compete with grew up skiing on Dendex. I don't remember what area, but Kar bump to you.
there was a big pile of it last time i checked, but that was like last november, it looked like it had been there for a while though so i wouldnt be suprised if its still there, if you get me. They'r always replacing sections of Hillend so theres bound to be some kicking about...If youd did happen to take a trip up, i reckon it'd be worthwhile ;)...pretty easy to get, just went at night
next time im up there ill have a scope for ya...think im gonna be down at castleford next friday so might see you then...
