make a simple wood frame out of 2x4's to fit two barrels side by side, use tiedowns or rope to wrap around the barrels and 2x4's so they dont move. fill them with water 1\4 full. repeat for the other end. make sure to take some thick wide pvc pipes so they don't break or bow too bad. here is a pic of mine. lumber and pvc was free because i work construction. total cost $50. don't use black abs pipes, they are too sticky. |

I'm puting plans together that you can build an 6ft up ramp slider soon,
All you need is
2 10ft 4x4
2 16ft fibercon (composite decking)
1 2x8x16ft
2 2x4x16
6 or so 8 ft 2x4s
its simple to do and will cost about 70 bucks, the majority is in the fibercon, you could use pvc tubeing too...you just make an A with the 4x4s and then brace it all, then put it on one end of the 2x8x16, with the fibercon screwed to the top, and then put the 2 16ft 2x4s on the bottom to add strenght, then set it in about a foot of water, ours is pointed at a drop off so about 2 ft after it its about 6ft deep,
Will post pictures soon... |

if you fall, you shouldn't be hiting sliders... and if you fall in a foot of water, you must be doing something wrong... |

if you don't know what your doing, unlike pros, you should not hit anything besides a wake, hting objects that don't move isn't for everyone, i ment that you shouyd not hit sliders if you can't handel it beeing in a foot of water...i will post pics soon...to show that its not a dumb idea and it works for someone who wants to do soemthing cheap |

You guys sound like bunch of chicks! wkbrdr can post stuff if he wants that's why they call it a FORUM Look it up! Don't get me wrong I don't agree with everything he says and I am yet to see a couple of photos, but sack up and stop worrying about falling. You're hitting a stationary object while moving at least 22 MPH you're gonna fall! Have fun guys! |
