gravity fed bmx half pipe

you could make it like a wood skateboard halfpipe or shape a a dirt one on a ski hill, think about how huge people would go in such a pipe!

I just don't think that would work unless the halfpipe was solid dirt, such as on the dirtjumps. I just don't think it's a good idea.

why dirt? the stuff they use would work, but imagine how huge they would go, it would be sick. But mabey they would go too huge, i can see it now, they come in for the landing and the tire taco's or something

im sure others have thought of this before and there is obviously a valid reason why this wouldn't work.

perhaps its called friction.

a skate board half pipe isnt gravty fed because its flat length wise, a ski and snowboard half pipe is on a slope making it gravity fed


make sense?

it would have to be hella long if you want more than a few hits. the runs would be so short.

If they can do it on flat, I'm pretty damned sure they can do it on a down slope. Perhaps it's called you not thinking before you post.
