Deciding on a new rail for my Pool Gap

Hey as many of you know i have a pool gap in my back yard and i am feeling that it needs a renovation. I am for sure going to move the rail over to one of the sides to make more room for tricks down the gap. But since I have to move it i can easily change the rail in the process. The rail that i have in now is the one in the picture. But i am thinking that i could put a pvc down rail in there and have fun on that for a while. What do you guys think?

Keep that rail?

Put a pvc rail in?

here is a link to a small vid with some riding in it, it is my bro and I

The trick is a fs nose.

Both? One on each side with middle open? But that's beautiful... Cool

ZackFL(BRE), that would be amazing and that is what i want, but the pond is just not wide enough to accommodate that.

cjbecker, I kinda figured it must not be wide enough.. cause if it was I'm sure you wouldn't even need to ask for opinions.

yea it kinda sucks that we cant put 2 rails in there, it is possible, but you would be landing so close to the side of the pond. ouch.

that mini excavator i have would take care of the side of the pond real quick. It's sitting in Vincennes right now

Damn that water looks clear, i guess im just use to the dirty swamp water Crying or Very sad

That spot look sick, i say just make that a down rail. Or maybe some how make it interchangeable so you can have PVC also Birthday

i'd say make it wider if u can.. and then throw up both!

i would say make all of the rails portable / removable. Once you have the rail stuck on one side, you will get bored and want it on another.

You should make some permanent, pre-dug postholes on either side and then two or three different rails that you can drop in and out. (Similar to the handrail at the berrics). Just lift it out and drop the new one in on either side to change it up every once in a while, shouldnt take more thatn 2 or 3 people to do.

I agree with a gnarly dancer make a double kinker, that has some difficulty to it!

What about a curved rail to get super steezy on? Then you could have it be a little outside the pond but still land in it as you'll be coming in at an angle.
