Sliders

Postby Ten4 » Thu Jun 03, 2004 10:27 am

I have a Liquid Force MLF and i want to know if using PVC Pipe Sliders will wreck my board.
Also does anyone have any plans to build a simple slider that they can send me :thumb: :thumb: would be great

shouldnt wreck your board as long as you slide across the top and not crash into the suport post which may chip the rail. dont bleed about scratches, its only a board

a simple slider is a pvc rail with a 90 degree bend piece placed at each end. the legs are also a single pice of pvc pipe that you sing into the sand

looks too simple but workes a treat

make sure ur pipe is sewer grade and i recoment 100mm

liquid force boards are pretty indescutible. they use wakeboard construction.

you will invalidate your warranty if you use it for sliders.

The MLF is a solid board mate, i ran into a rock on mine going flat out and sent myself flying. The board hardly got a scratch on it. Sliders aren't going to do anything to our little puppies :thumb: I'm gonna build a slider soon too, but I'm using electrical piping rather than PVC because apparently it holds up to the sun better. I wanna make mine similar to the one they have in ten4 so it's not exactly too simple, but easy enough for your average Joe :wink:
