How much more can be done in the halfpipe

t hat would be sick to put up like raised up rails and you could spin onto them and shit and slide them and drop back in for the next hit, i dont think that would really work though
 
did you watch hatveit/farve in x-games? there is definitly potential to get some serious air switch and throw down.
 
word about all four 1080's that is where the sport is progressing too...and until all the top riders have all four 10's smoothe and steezy, i say fuck the 12 (sorry Tufflemire)
 
no i did and don't get me wrong-i thought it was ridiculous how huge they were going. but they also lost a good bit of amplitude. i really want to see a coping be incorporated into the halfpipe
 
I think Switch is the new shit in the halfpipe too. Dropping switch is a little out there because you get less amplitude on your first hit but i think that more switch tricks in a run is where its heading
 
def more switch, favre looked sick at the end of his run. yeh he lost height, but 3 years ago none was doing anything switch
 
hatveit was getting 14 according to the expn fucks, lets call it 12, which might be a low estimate, then lets say dumont does a 16-18 foot truck 5, I am saying with practice and more speed that 15-18 is possible, it would be nuts but so was dumont busting 18+ a few years ago
 
i dont know but the soundtrack in shanghai six was fucking terrible, i mean how do you blow a soundtrack that bad, high fives soundtrack was so cool, what the hell happened in shanghai six, i think they asked warren miller to make it or something
 
what about a "coping" type of thiing that they could grind on like a wooden halfpipe and skaters? i have no idea if its possible, but it came to mind when i read the thread question.
 
a slopestyle course built into the middle of the pipe, that was after a rail or tabletop you can turn and boost a foot outta the pipe in a switch 12
 
In reference to comments on the amplitude of switch hits and where they are heading.

I have personally seen switch hits in the high teens. Chris Turpin was dropping in and hitting Huge switch flat sevens days before Heading to X the year he blew his ACL.

Also I have pictures of Andreas hitting switch downside sevens in at least the fifteen foot mark during last years WSI superhit in the pipe..(this hit won him the comp.)

I will likely post one of those pics when I get back from work here in the city this week.
 
they put those in at mammoth sometimes. a 10 foot rail that goes into the snow just like a coping. they are fun to fuck around on
 
Although it didnt seem to bad this year, but how about learning to hit both sides of the wall. All this alley-opping on only the left wall...?
 
doing spins all directions....in the pipe theres 8 different ways to do a 5. ally oop is harder with some tricks and downhill is harder with switch tricks.....there is so much that still can happen in the pipe
 
i don't know if the whole coping thing would be a good idea for a pipe, i can see somebody getting caught up on it trying to come back in and wrecking themself on it.
 
mark abma in yearbook. he has arail set up like 10 feet out of the pipe and hem does shit on and off , its possible
 
i think that the two pipes side by side would be cool, like transfers, but i really think they should do like deck tricks such as manuels and have rails, then drop back in
 
i've been sayin this for a long time now...

they should have rails and wall rides along the sides and/or make the pipe curve so thers hips and stuff and make different parts off the wall higher

all of this is similar to skateboarding
 
Thats exactly what I was thinking too. Or better yet, a spine with a rail above it so you could hit the rail and drop back into the other pipe switch or throw spins back into the other pipe. I'd like to see some stuff like the Yasutoko bros. do in skating... california roll 1080 and Viking flips and double viking flips, maybe even some double flatspins.
 
snowboarders were doin 1260 in the olympics but idk about skiing.

they should put some rails like 15 ft high and shit like that in the pipe.
