I know this is nothing ground breaking...but here are a few pictures of the slider I am building that I designed on AutoCAD 2000. I will have more pictures of it on my website (wakeskate revolution) soon.

much respect Brandon

Sorry the picture is so big

hey looks good.

i am in an CAD class right now and it is so much fun. i tried making a conave wakeskate but it didn't turn out very good. i want to try and get the program on my home computer so i can mess around with it a little more.

Looks like a sick slider. How long is it?

Nice, but it sord of looks like the incline is to steep.

yea it is a weird angle...its not steep at all....the base of the slider is 6' wide and the slider is 3' tall

it is in the process...i have it all framed in and have the playwooed purchased...all i need is some of that fake wood decking stuff. Plus i need to finish filling out the permit for the DNR, then they have to come out and approve it.

Nice, I do have one more question though. Do you have the drums yet? And where did you get them, cause i need some too.

wait a tick what state do you live in? dnr approves sliders?

Me and some friends are building a 30 foot slider of our own right now, and yours looks pretty sweet man. We got as many drums as we needed from a local gas station. We also got all of our 2x4's and plywood from local construction sites. Just ask around and you should be able to find whatever you need man.

good luck getting the DNR to come out and approve that. We applied for the permit last year and we still haven't seen the DNR come out for the apporval.
We're on Koontz Lake, IN, so I know the process you're talking about.
You're slider looks alot like mine, except mine has a 20ft top and ramps on both sides (40ft total).
Couple of suggestions: Put your sheeting on down by the water, cause your slider is going to get damn heavy and it's a bitch to move (I'm rigging up some wheels under mine, this year, to get it down to the water.
Also, not sure if you plan to use fake-wood on top for the slider part, but I would if I where you. PVC is a pain to mount and can crack if you hit it too hard. You also have to figure out how to join the angles together. If you use Dex (or some plastic wood) then you can just route the edges down and butt them together.

Good luck!

CAD is a $5000 program. I'm trying to boot one of my Drafting teach since they are upgrading to the newer CAD
