I had a question about building a slider....me and some of my friends are wanting to build a lil slider, just a flat bar kinda. We have our PVC and wood and stuff, but i wanted to know what else we need, we are probably going to put it in 10-14 feet of water...what would make that sturdy enought. If anyone knows please let me know cuz we wanna make this work cuz one of the dads is a real jack asss fagget and he thinks that its not gonna work, but im gonna prove that little cok smokin office sittting red neck asss whats up. thanks

oh yeah if anyone has any pics, it would be greatly appreciated.

its gonna be about 15 feet maybe, its just gonna be a lil one, and its going to be in about 5-6 feet of water not 15 or whatever i said before.

premier this 1 6, Did you put water in the barrels? If you didn't you should and it will be alot more stable.

Any suggestions on how me and premier this 16 should construct the incline portion of it?... the part coming out of the water... im not sure what is the best way to do it.

also... how would water in barrels make it more stable? wouldnt it make it sink a bit?

Maestro · Posted: Apr 05, 2005 4:18 pm Post subject:

Water in the barrels = more of the barrel underwater = greater surface area to balance on. If they're floating completely out of the water the ratio between height and base is not very good...

As for the incline, I say scrap that and ollie! Wink

alright now i understand the water thing. ... but that is a pretty high ollie for me and my friends... lol... wouldnt want to risk that. If you have a good idea for the incline it would be mucho appretiated Very Happy

Beaver · Posted: Apr 07, 2005 3:30 pm Post subject:

Premier how much did that cost you to make???

premier this 1 6 · Newbie Joined: 29 Mar 2005 Posts: 33 City: Dallas

Catch This Wake, it was around 150 i think, i could be wrong but between 3 of us and some parents it wasnt all that bad.

Is just the water in the barrels enought to stabilize it? Is it sketchy at all when hitting it?

arof, If there was water in it it would be fine.

Beaver · Posted: Apr 27, 2005 6:13 am Post subject:

SuPrA*bOaTs, I think we should make a slider like what wakerider07 made.
