heres my summer setup. got a 10 ft pvc rail about 2.5 feet high maybe 3 idk and a pretty shitty box. its like pressboard with a plastic coating over it but slides nicely. supports are recycle bins lol. i have a very wobbly drop in at the top of the hill.

just thought id like to share my setup

This belongs in the build a jib cult, but I'm interested in the pressboard, where did you get it and how much did it cost. How slippery is it Vs. pvc?

alright guys uhh well i used stuff i found in my basement. the pressboard went somewhere in my kitchen that we recently redid. its pressboard with a very thin plastic coating on it. thats what the white it. the problem is it has no grib to it at all. switchups are very hard. but it does slide nicely

why did you arrange the upside-down blue boxes perpendicular to your sliding direction?
if you dip your tip or tail on the side of the box you'll get caught behind those boxes; put them parallel :)

and good luck, this is a very original setup; haven't seen many that were this basic but looked quite ok :)

Do us a favor and ask the guys who redid your kitchen what that material is.  HDPE is $240ish for a 4 x 8 sheet.  You may have stumbled onto something that slides like HDPE but doesn't cost as much.

To solve the problem of not getting grip, you could buy either some steel tubing or 90 degree angled steel and recess it on the edge.  Then you would have a box that would be as good as any box you would find in a park.
