First off I would use metal not PVC. PVC is to flexible. Do you have a home depot where you are or some kind of home supply store? You would be suprised at how cheap you can buy metal pipe for. Just do a double barrel rail.(2 side by side) Unless you know of a place to get square or rectangular pipe.

Yes PVC slides pretty good but if you get a good smooth piece of pipe it will be WAY faster. Courtney is right also. PVC will wear fast and crack and is very weather affected. Meaning cold weather=cracking(using it for skiboarding) and hot= bending and breaking(assuming using it for inline or sk8ing). If you HAVE to use PVC over metal then you might do what I used to do(before I switched to metal)and anchor your pieces of PVC to whatever you use for a base and then fill the pipe with concrete. Makes it heavier and more stable and less likely to crack on you. But I say metal would still be the better choice.Live and ride like there's no tomorrow...because tomorrow might not be here for you.
