Ok i sat down and watched Degenerates and then Propaganda in one sitting today and I have to say those three guys go WAAAAAAY bigger in the half pipe back in the days of Degenerates than they do today. Like 4 or 5 times bigger! They dont do cool tricks like flatspins or 3s but they still go huge. its kind of fun to watch. JF and Vinnie do some airs that have to be 20 ft or more out of the pipe, its sick

 
yeah, and some guys still got small but did 900's

Watch 'The Game' and you will see JF go big in the pipe...

Yeah but that is before the time of the super pipes popularity growth that occures like last year.

So they are busting like 15 feet on a 9-12 ft wall, but now they get around 11-12 feet (on average) like a 20 foot wall. So the pipe is bigger, and it makes the people look smaller.

I think thats how it goes now...

 
point made.

Yea 11-15 feet out of the pipe isnt shabby either. The pipe has grown into a super pipe an they need more speed to get up to 20 ft out

Is it cheating if the girl is from another country?

Some one please help !!!
 
prolly cause they were like straight lining to tha pipe and now they are riding the entire pipe...

plus jp did a 18 feet or so flair.... in I dont know which movie

I'm feeling greeaaaattt!!!!

 
this post means a lot....i'm glad some people notice these crazy talented skiers....damn their sections in degenerates can still easily compete with the ones being produced today!

degenerates is probably my fav. ski movie of all time....first one i ever owned and i still never get bored of it.

...
 
what is the point of having it be a super pipe if they just need more speed to get out!? seem kinda pointless, I guess all I have ridden is super pipes though, so i wouldnt know how much speed I would need for a regular pipe.

Back in those days they hit jumps just as big as the ones they hit today. They did big 3 grabs and stuff too. and that was before JP messed up his back and knees.

But i find it easier to get out higher in reg, pipes than super pipes,

THC (triple Hybrid Core)

is just soemthing tanner Hall made up

THC is 'conincidently' the name of the drug in Marijuana... And the designers of the skis 'conincindently' smoke so much weed
 
JP and Vinnie are my two most favorite skiers...they did alot for progression if you ask me, and they dont get half the credit they deserve these days. Especially JP, with the injury and all. I dunno though, pipes vs. superpipes...its all about style and progression...not necessarily who goes the hugest..just my view though.

If I had a nickel,

I'd surely give it to you right away.
