Basicly look at sliders around on movies etc.. and look how there made and how there supported get some 2x4s and make a mock up

if you use pvc then it doesnt really hurt youre board it more discolors it
i have a shitty board that i use....u can find one on like criagslist.com or u can go to a used sporting goods store to find old shitty boards

you want a good slider, make the surface out of trex. you want a really good slider, make the surface out of UMHW Polyethylene, which is expensive, but very slick and durable. go to www.tse-ok.com for info on UMHW PE.
