ABS pipes

People use a lot of PVC pipes for homemade rails.

But here's my problem. I was checking out my local home depot, and saw next to the PVC pipes, ABS pipes. They seem much more rigid and less flexible than the PVC ones.

But is it a good top material? So I'd like some info before i get screwed and stuck with bad rails.

I'd stick with pvc. Its strong, eaasy to build with, and slides better than ky jelly

Im pretty sure I know what ABS pipes are and we thought the same thing when I made my rail. It broke like 3 hit. PVC has a little more give to absorb the pressure of being landed on. Go PVC.
