let me get this straight...that was one of the 2 flat rails, that was me just checking the speed of the carpet, the 2 boxs needed repairs, as did the other flat rail, the 25 footer is still being built but will be done by June 24, I did the boxs last weekend and they were great, everything will be ready by the 24th. I haven't been able to post more pics cuase it hasn't stopped raining.

here are some of the pics( the 25 ft. kink rail is still being built so no pics yet)

you can see the 25 ft. kinked rails plans by accessing the "official summer setup thread" (it's a ways down and labeled "Liams setup"


you can see the box's pics at:

ok, those pics were VERY lame i admit, it was the first day i got the rails, so i got a little overexcited, recently i have raised them all, so the flat rails are about up to ones thigh, also i widened them by adding another 2x4 the long way and pvc on that, the boxs i strengthed and replaced some sketchy pvc, speed is easiy gained on my hill, and i've sessioned about 6 times, all were awsome cause you can mix and match the rails together, create longer ones (flat-flat-upbox-flat box is my favorite) i am currently building a 25 ft. kinked rail

so theres only a couple more weeks until this rail jam is supposed to happen, the date in JUNE 24, i'll be railing ALL day, obviosly their will be like pizza/energy drink/soda/halo 2... pop me a message if you live in CT. or close by and want to stop by and check it out, i need everybody's phone number to call to give you my address, we may have some other kids bringing snow in a pickup, but be prepared for carpet, which works well enough, so message me with your phone number if your interested or have any other questions, put the date on your calendar

Rails dont need to be perfect, as long as you can slide on them they are good. PVC, wood, metal, anything you can slide on.

^^^^ this kids got the idea, you can't expect a homemade rail to be without faults, the fun part is thanking god after you succeefully slide it every time
