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.

yeah throw some like coping down on the pipe, or put a rail up like 10 feet above the pipe and fly up onto that

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

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

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...?

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.

2 pipes. side by side, then you would see mad transfers. people would also fuck themselves up if they got it wrong!

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

All times are Eastern (-5)
