It obviously depends on the speed you have.
If you cant get enough speed, go 10.
If you easily have speed, go 12, or 15.

If I use 2 pipe of 2" each, that do 4"inch.

And you dont think if I put that on a 2x4, the 2x4 will be not enough large to have 4" on it ?

Because the 2x4 is 2"inch.

Sry for my english :s

MAKE IT LONGER THAN 12 FEET.
12 feet is NOTHING. you will regret it if you don't make it longer. at least 16. i would go 20, if you could.

make it 12f. Mine is 10f and I would have loved it to have it 2f. longuer cause when you do switch-ups and pretzel you will have more time to prepare some 270 offs.

I used 2 1 1/2" PVCs on a 2x4 and it fits perfectly because 2x4s arnt actually 4" wide. There like 3 1/4 or something like that. Trust me my dad used to be a framer and ive built way to many things.

As for the lenfth of the rail i would go as long as you can. I built a 10 and its too short for pretzels and stuff. Mainly cause i get a ton of speed on my drop in and my rail is slightly down hill. Im building a 20 ft rail tomorow though :)
