Maybe its just me but PVC is possibly the easiest thing to slide....but dont cut in in half, when its cold enough they will shatter if you come down hard enough.

pvc works fine as long as u dont 'land' on it or diaster it, it slides really nice and its cheap too. But if u pop onto it to high and land hard on it it will break.

PVC is hte easiest and cheapest way to go. i built 2 pvc rails. there a pic in my profile if you want ot check it out. but what you do is, get 1/2 inch PVC pipe, any length, and put 4 of those on top of a 2x4. then build the rest of the rail from there. go look at the pic in the pictures part of my profile. i havent cracked it or caught an edge, its by far hte best if you cant get metal

the farp rail is pvc. The end cracked a little when I was jumping on it but no big deal. You can always replace the pvc.

Coming Soon...

if your making a box use sheet metal, I havtn actually tried it but it seems really smooth and its like 10 bucks for a sheet at home depot. Thats what we are using if we make a rail.

For my box i just took out a 12 foot piece of wood in my garage, it was about 8-10 inches wide, and its about an inch thick and i just screwed down 4 pieces of PVC evenly thoughtout the piece of wood. This was all after I made the frame and stuff though.
