yeah i had a 16 ft flat bench and i would say thats a nice legnth. if you go shorter than 12 its jsut a waste time/money.

if your going to build a dfd then you will need a hill to put it on. i would say a fdf, like 10 ft sections. then you can practice switchups and spins of all on the same rail (unless you got spins off a down rail good. i personally dont like it much)

fish did you make that at school? or did you weld it yourself? by the way your backyard looks sick.
