I want to make a box that i can practice spinning off of and sliding unnatural and just whatever. I think that I want it about 20' long, 1' wide, and 1.5' tall. Any suggestions? I was wondering what to cover the top with, are they just covered with some kind of plexiglass plastic crap with metal edges or what?

you want it fairly tight, some people prefer big lips. I've never had a problem with length/depth. Also the less natural schrubby around the area the better.

if its a straight box, why not design the box, and then go to a metal shop (or can probably get at a good hardware store) and get angle iron, basically a piece of steel bent in a 90 degree then attach it to the box.

get some nice thick angle iron from your local scrap iron place, its a perfect angle to meet the edge of your wood, tack that on and u shouldnt need any plexiglass

i was debating whether to make one, but then i realized that lexan is hella expensive, and decided just to try a rail first even if i fall its cheaper. it i were to build a box, instead i would just try to identical rails like a foot apart so u cant fall, just to start off, pretty much same thing as a box and prob cheaper and much less work, no building!

yeah just cut out plywood outside, so your shape of rail, and build around it. I didn't actually read your post so I hope that helps. Im not bad at building them so you can message me for other questions, BUY MY SKIS, yeah I can build some sweet, BUY MY SKIS, boxes, but other than you that you should go to ebay and buy my skis.
Thanks
Pat

if ur build a box, 16 ft is a good size. ply wood comes in sections of 8 ft. if its 17 ft long then u need an extra section just for that. also 2 ft high means u just cut it in half because ply wood comes in sections of 4 ft wide witha line down teh middle to follow ur cut. im geusisng ur going to use plywood as ur supports. i would suggest not putting supports anymore then 2 ft from each other, that is the maxium used when makign a house. if u want some more info u can messge nme

the KEY thing to do would be get a rotor tool,metal piping, and lexan, and rotor a side so that you rotor a groove and fit the pipe in and put the lexan on so that its level with the pipe. That way you have a sweet sliding surface for spins on or off.
