I'd make a shorter up and down if your going to make it that long. depending on how high off the water it is

thats going to be hard to ride across the whole thing. you'll find yourself getting pulled off about half way through

hope its not your first slider you have built and i really hope its not the first one you have ever hit. 80 ft is doable but you should go up-flat-up-flat-down. A 65 foot dragon would be my first choice. that is up-flat-up. Post some pics if you start building it. Props to you for taking the initiative. It makes the sport better for everyone you let use it.

Mike I agree with you...however think about your first statement "up-flat-up-flat-down" if you hit it toeside in my case (front lip) then my up-flat-down-flat-down becomes your "up-flat-up-flat-down". Anyway I'm pretty pumped to get it built. we got 5 of the 11 supports planted in tonight. Going in to pick up the trex tommorow!! And no this is not the first slider we've built or hit. I've hit 60-65 footers and the slide felt good, however we just want a little bit more. DJ the reason the dimensions are so long is we want it to be more mellow than super tech. the highest point on it is 4.5'.

Are you planning on using more than those 2x4's to support that thing?

We built a 30' slider, and doubled-up 2x6's, for the legs... I think that'd be a much safer way to go. Or, atleast double-up those 2x4's.
