Slip n' slides are a great way to enjoy your summer after**on — but if you're over age 7, those dinky store bought slides just aren't going to cut it.

Using recycled cardboard, pallets and a large roll of plastic, Derek Salamanca (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf1LEQKxxY2vbSgdBgjs-cQ) took matters into his own hands, and built the ultimate DIY (http://mashable.com/category/diy/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) slip 'n slide
