Corrugated pipe

What's hitting a corrugated pipe like, do you hit it like a normal rail, or is there any certain method to use to not catch and die?
 
i love corrugated pipes, as long as you keep slight pressure on the back edges you'll be fine. It was the first rail I was able to 4 out of
 
sir i believe that is some words that make up a sentence that you edited to make weird, or attempted to make weird.
 
Corrugated actually slides better than you'd expect. You expect it to grab you, doesn't usually. Prolly a little bumpier on skiers especially if you have one ski on an edge to grip.

Plastic ones get a little more gnarly of a gap sometimes and you gotta watch out for burs.

Good luck. Corrugated is the shit. Check out this one we found in the woods at a mountain I was working at. No idea how long it had been there. Totally pristine condition. Best find ever. Actually had more fun seshing it than I probably did all season. Despite some rain, me and kevtron drank some keystones and enjoyed the shit out of the end of the season.

No, I believe he was referring to the fact that you completely disregarded almost every grammar rule known to the English language in one sentence.
 
Here's something I can compare how you think about it versus how it actually is.

You know when you hit a down flat rail for the first time you kind of over think the kink? At least I know I did and many people do. You just don't want to catch your downhill edge so you lean back a little too far and actually loop out instead of hooking your edge?

Idk that's how it was for me. Sort of fell back or almost did from leaning the first time I hit a corrugated.

That said if you slam yourself on a metal one they feel like shit. Was doing a backside swivel on the one at snow preseason a few years ago. Hooked my back edge goin full speed and just raped my back. Felt like shit for a solid week after.

 
I hit a metal corrugated and dislocated my collarbone. I dont hit corrugated's anymore. Worst feature ever.
 
metal corrugated is totally different, I avoid that shit

plastic stuff though, fun!
 
alot isn't a word

a lot is the correct usage

in this comic, they make out the word "alot" to be some kind of animal that would seem to fit the bill of such a word.

use it correctly.
 
If your going fast enough and not leaning stupidly forward, it's pretty much the same as a metal sausage tube, just a little less slippery.
 
"Alot" is not a word. It is this animal here. The phrase "a lot" is what you were looking for. I don't even know how someone can mess up so many their/there/they're's in one sentence...
 
50% of the posts in this thread are making fun of bad grammar. 87% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
 
Yup, speed is key on the corrugated tubes. It'll be scarier the first time, but you wanna hover right over those peaks and valleys.
 
I usually lose a ski then get launched to the moon on these things. 50-50s, good idea. Lip slides where you come down hard, bad idea.
 
caught an edge at the end of the pipe and its slammed me head first onto the icy landing. My head felt like somebody had packed dynamite in my helmet. I stay away from corrugated after that harrowing experience.
 
I find when hitting one of these i like to tilt my front ski a little so that the coregation just slides under and i dont catch an edge and go ass over tea kettle infront of the bitties.
 
Corrugated is fucking awesome. I prefer the metal like Mammoth has, but plastic is still fun for sure! Don't be scared and you'll be fine.
 
i would love to hit something like that. corrugated pipes are the shit they are seriously no different from anything else youd think you would have to be careful about the corrugations but not at all dude
