We made a 10 foot and an 8 foot bar rail with 2 pieces of pvc on top. Can line em up and stuff. We also got a 8 foot box and a 10 foot round pvc rail, though its mainly for inline. i'd say make a bar double pvc rail. its easy to make.

The one thing that I wish I had pictures of but don't is a jump I built off of our roof in the back of our house.  We got a ton of snow and right where the trampoline is in the above picture is where I built the landing hill.  The jump was right above on the flat part of the roof.  It wasn't a big kicker, but more like a cliff drop with a slight lip.  It was pretty fun dropping switch from the peak of the roof and doing switch 1's into the back yard.  I thought that my neighbors were going to call someone and have me locked up.  I got my wife outside to film a few, and didn't realize until after the snow had melted that the cam failed.
