Hey, I wana starting ripping the half pipe, I never really skied one before, what are some tips for starters?

 
Don't take too direct of a line because if you do you won't go as high because you'll have less speed.

What's alike between Michel Jockson and Burger King?

They're both trying to put 40 year old meat in between 10 year old buns

What's alike between Michel Jackson and Wal-Mart?

They both have boys pants half off.

What I mean is don't traverse across the hill as much. go more downhill. Ski the entire pipe but do fewer hits.

i got a pointer from turpin at high north, he said basicaly for every foot you want to go up you want to move down the pipe 2 feet. sorta like an arch

 
yea, thats exactly right^^ for every 2 up 4 down, etc etc etc and also, when you drop in, jump in, not just absorb,

ALSO this is crucial, if you skate, you'll no what i mean... at the end of a transition, when youre coming into the middle pump the end of the wall, you might not understand, but watch skate vert, then you'll get what i mean...

actuallly i found when learning that going straight up was easier, then once i was comfortable i slowly put more and more angle into it

 
a tip that helped me a lot was don't look at your landing spot before you are out of the pipe. look straight ahead as you are riding up the wall

 
As you go up the tranny think of it like you're on a swong a little bit, and push your hips forward. It will help you maintain your speed and boost bigger.

Here's a little thing Smiley showed me. Start below the lip of pipe. Maybe a little above halfway depending on the pipe. If you can't get out of the pipe after one or two hits, you're not pumping the tranny right. BTW, Smiley is pretty soild in the pipe on Pocket Rockets.
