right me and chewy hav been talking and we have decided that we should make something new and original at chewys that nobody has newhere else (as far as we are aware)

we realise that it will take a lot of time and effort to get it working right but we came up with this
(forgive the drawing i had to quickly draw it before the idea escaped me)



right im sure u r all very confused now so ill explain...


the flat black sections are standard sections of boardwalk
the red section is a see-saw
the blue bit is rope
and the green section is a section of sliding boardwalk that will be on rollers so when you brake on it you will slide along...

wen u r ridin along you will come to the see saw and the "slider" will be at the wrong side of the board walk so u cannot ride it (picture two) but when you go down the see saw the blue rope pulls the "slider" back along so the you can ride it. this will happen for every new rider.

i know that you would be able too use bungy rope or elastic to return the slider immediately but with these methods u would hav too much resistance too slide along
with the method we chose u dont have any resistance and it will also be quite scary going down the see saw with your next piece of boardwalk 10 feet away from you Very Happy

so what do you all think of this idea... Very Happy

look's good to me i may be able to get some wheels with a groove in the middle so the rope or bunjy will stay in place .Only thing when looking at the drawing is when your front wheel hit's the slider it will move before your back wheel get's on. if you lad's need a hand to build it give me a date you are going to start i will be there if you won't a hand
