Slider Help

I am trying to re-create the slider that is on the Pro Tour. I know the gay from the box to the A-frame is 30 inches. Does anybody know the angle of the slider box section of it? Heres what we have so far.

Tom, you've been hanging out with the dudes at the camp too much... Freudian slip. LOL!!!

OK... Sorry, but I have no relavent info to help you out here, except that I'll gladly be a test dummy to make sure that thing works out ok.

I couldn't ask for a better dummy, oops, test dummy. Another Freudian slip.

I want to try to build the box this weekend, I just need the angle. I dont want to mess up after going this far. What I do want is a world class slider, so that the riders will want to come to our camp and have a place to practice that style of slider here on the westcoast. It is pretty intimidating, especially when you do it for your first time at a competition.

Tom,

I will have the info for you today and will be by to finish it up for you on the weekend. For everyone else make sure you come by our April 14th event and see it first hand in action. DWC is doing every thing legit definately go by and check out their shops and take advantage of the camp. I am sure you will be able to try it there and along with the rest of the sliders they have for the season.

Tim showed us some pics of that thing & how it collapses down for transport. Pretty sick setup if you ask me. It has a box as well correct?

Tom,

What I am told, Glen Fletcher at O Town has an exact replica at his facility. If you call him, I am sure he will give you that information.

I have been calling around trying to get the angle. Everybody says they just guesstimate the angle. Even Peter Fleck, the guy who built the one for the pro tour "eye balled" his angle. Oh well, if that what I have to do, so be it.

Tommy, I'm going to be in Orlando next week, I well stop by O'town and see what Glen used and give you a call.

I tried to call Glen today and he was out. I talked to Brad B and he didn't know. I was going to call Glen tomorrow. I have heard it is 15 degrees?
