i have enough wood for an A frame rail(10ft up 10ft down) and a 10 or even 18 ft flat or a trap rail (10ft up 10ft flat 10ft down) and they would be covered in pvc, im just wondering which would be better to progess on and which option would be the most fun

Just think about what gives you the most options for different set ups and things to do. To me it seems like a trap rail is more versatile but just think about what is going to have more options that your capable of.

Dont make an a rail, and if you do make it way more gradual of a kink then you would expect.  I made one that is 10 up 10 down and it went up like 2 or 3 feet in the 10 feet and that was to steep, its practially un hittable
