I will throw the first suggestion in making it pretty big. Our first rail of the season was 12' long and when you get on your right off. Next you want to think how your going to set it to the bottom of your lake. Good luck with what you figure out...

Hey Charlie, is that your private rail? Or what lake is it on? I know of one in Cross Lake but i would love to get a set on that if its public or if its your and if its cool with you. I live in Woodbury, mostly ride around here and a couple lakes in Wi, unless up in the Cross Lake area. Let me know brotha!

Its actually on the lake that my cabin is at. It's about a half an hour from Cross Lake but its pretty small. If your ever up in the area id be happy to let you hit it but like i said the lake is nothin special. And ive seen that one on Cross too and if its out there its fair game as far as im concerned haha

Crash ~~ It's like riding a bike, it's takes that first wreck to say "hell that's not so bad." Not really, I will say that is one heck of a slider to build for your first one. My first one was on one of those blow up sliders that was about 40' total, paid $50 an hour from a clinic up her in UT. The best 2 hours on the lake and only charged me from one.

E.J. ~~ Do you know if Taylors has the rail? I could be mistaking about the dealer but I need to get my hands on that toy! Do you have any contact numbers I could try?

O here is one that I got to try and a local slider event. The step up kicked everybody off but then we started to get it. They had that step up and a really nice flat rail then a barrel in the water to play with. One of the best local winch events I have been to.

We made ours towable instead of leaving it in the Delta for others to just mess up. Each piece of Trex board is 16' long. We have a 3rd piece to make it an A-frame too.

Last I hear I think someone said Jason Lugo had it.....though I cannot confirm that Josh. Call Taylor and see what he did with it, I am sure he has knowledge where it is...... It may very well be in storage somewhere? Or he sold it....????

Well this is not my rail and not my picture, but this rail is going to be sessioned today here in Utah. These guy's have bought some land and the rail from the boat show from Pat Panakos. and set up a nice session rail. The first pool is 65' then 32' of rail and then 70' for the landing pool. I was invited to session this today after work and can't wait to give it a go. From what I here it has a spot in the new WB Mag. and in the news section of Wakeworld under Utah riders...
