PVC puts bug white marks on your board that you can't get all the way would

Trex is soo sick___the stuff peels of your board with your nail!!

GO TREX OR FIBERCON

Trex burns like hell if you fall on it, and will kill your board after a season on it. PVC makes white marks yes, but better than your board leaving bits on the rail, and it hurts less. If not PVC, i would reccommend those 1/2 pipe gutter shells available at home depot. No marks, slightly more painful bails.

Trex is definitely the way to go. It won't chew up your board as much as PVC, and you have a lot more control on it. Plus it doesnt have sharp edges like PVC, so it really doesn't hurt as much to fall on it (granted you spray it with water before you hit it).

use trex or ultra deck. its way better than pvc. doesnt wreck your board and it stands up pretty tough as well. ive never soaked a slider before and if you think about. trex or ultra deck is waterproof. its made for decks to be waterproof so it doesnt rot but any spray from when you ollie on is enough to keep it slick.

fiberon or trex wears out boards a lot faster than pvc. I dont know where you guys are getting that fiberon is easier on your board from, maybe its because you leave edges of the pvc pipe sticking up. PVC is much faster than fiberon. fiberon is produced with ridges in it now that run the length of the piece. This means that it will rip you and your board up easier. Now with all that being said, fiberon feels a hell of a lot better to slide on and is much easier to work with due to its rectangular shape rather than a pipe. That is why you see OWC, TSR and other cable parks with PVC and polyethylene rather htan riberon, they dont wear out your board as fast.

trex is flexible and slower than PVC but its not cheap.

Ctipping, If all you can afford for a slider is PVC, don't make one.

and if PVC shatters (get brittle from the sun) that really sucks. Evil or Very Mad
