does anyone know the highest a skier has ever boosted out of a pipe? like how to find the average in the X-games and then compare to how much bigger that is than snowboarders? its part of my persuasive speech and i just wanted some concrete facts
 
Jon Ollson on a quarter pipe in Oslo I forget how high but its in happy days and a ally oop flat 5. Dunno if its been beat
 
I think jons was 32 feet or something like that. and candide did his world record thing last week im not sure if he beat the record or not
 
either candide or simon. candide did a flair on the first hit in 03 X games that was just rediculus. simon did huge 5s on the first hit in 04, 05, and 06 x games. skiers own the amplitude but snowboarders own switch tricks. most standard snowboard runs contain a cab ten. i am yet to see any skier throw a cab ten in the pipe.
 
dumont def. has the most reliable big air in the pipe usually around 20ft which is about 5-8 feet higher than the average snowboarder
 
i hope you're not trying to argue that skiiers are better at pipe than snowboarders because they can go higher...
