Anyone ever use these? They look cool, but are they pretty unstable or what? Any idea on the cost?

that looks bad a

mitchell if you are going to build one build your flat rail 40' long and your incline sould not be over 20 degress steep

My buddies and I built a floating slider a while back. It was only about 20 feet long which seemed big but really wasnt. We used 6 alhambra bottles to make it float and the rest was 2x4's and pvc pipe. It was fun for a little bit but 20 feet just isnt long enough.

should get pics early next week. we build stationary slides. 4x4 post with a post pounded into the mud with a sledge and then a 2x4 pounded front to back and side to side. This three point post is extremely solid.
