one thing i liked about pipe for a while was that it wasnt a huckfest, it always seemed like people were aimed at technicality-meaning linking runs with back to back tricks that seemed to flow. like switch, rightside, regular, switch right all linked, and theres so much more improvement in that before people have to be throwing monstrous tricks. now in big air, everyone can already do the technical tricks so they have to do big tricks like 14s and double flips. but in pipe, you have 5 or 6 hits that can all be so techy that we dont need to be doing 14s and double flips yet. my 2 cents
