update on rail:

we drove two wood planks into the ground and the rail is gona be 16 ft long.

i hit it at 11 ft(currently is what it is now) its pretty short but i hit it late as well. the extra five feet should make a diff. we are proly gonna get somthin to put on top soon but the wood works alright...

Ok, that makes more sense Wink

I thought you were putting them on the tubes and hitting them Smash


Trex slides a lot better than bare wood. Get some!
