unbow or dragon tail - that would be the name you're looking for.

Make a high flat rail that's slightly taller than the down rail (like 1/4") then you can secure them together and you've got a flat-down rail.

are those rollers on the drop in, or do you just slide down them?

make a flat rail, and then either leave it as a drop off or setup a combo with one ogf your other rails.

Down to flat with a little bit of up. I can think of it, but I can't put it into words. So think a down flat rail, then with a little bit of a lip going up at the end. Kind of tricky to make, but could result in good sessions.

your setup is beautiful. i wish my backyard was flat enough for something like that. the down flat only portion of the dfd with a drop would be really fun. a flat down would be sick as well. some one mentioned an unbow. this would be sick.or a down flat to short up to kick you for spins out.

you dont have to much speed so nothing that goes up at the beginning would work.  i would say a u rail and c rail.  kinda hard to make but im sure if you did they would be lots of fun

the death rails posted in this thread = win. and besides that you could actually try to use some of those ideas for your set up.

flat rail sounds good. also i suggest you put plastic trellis on start of your landing. it slides a LOT better than carpet
