JoshC1501 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 I have a big hill next to my house. Had this idea last summer. This summer I did it, today I put up the third iteration. It's about 150-175feet long. One side has a ramp built out of foam noodles that launches you into a kiddie pool. The kids love it and adults do too! Having a big 4th of July Cookout Slip n slide party today. I will try to get a few videos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good incentive... The top section was donated to the cause by a friend. He got it from work it is really heavy, probably more than 6 mil. It isn't long enough so I had to add rows of some 4 mill to extend it. It held up well. I had 20 kids and 5-6 adults on it for about 5 hours yesterday. If u miss the pool you hit the ground. You can get about 3 foot high off the jump. A grown man going full speed will go 8-12 feet in distance.
