Super pipe VS. pipe

I find that superpipes made with scorpions groomers are worse that regular pipes made with pipe dragons. I can go higher in a dragon pipe than a super, and a super pipe i always land back in the flats which sucks. what do you think?

i love superpipes....... they just take a while to get used to because you have so much time to think when going up the tranny...and you think that it's undervert because you don't gotta keep your legs as strong going the same speed into the wall. It's just hard to get the hang of and is super intimidating if you're used to boosting huge airs out of a 10-12ft pipe.

yeah I can get way bigger airs easier and land them easier in a superpipe. it's a little more intimidating at first, but once you get the flow of it, it's a lot more fun

Superpipes are so much safer than regular pipes...

Lets say you go 6 feet out of a 10foot pipe, if you land flat you could fuck yourself up

If you go 10 feet out of a superpipe and land kinda flat it wont be nearly as bad as in a regular pipe
Since they have so much more transition it is less likely to get hurt

chadatbreck - um...you're wrong about that one. if you land on the flats in a superpipe it's worse because you are dropping that much further to the flats. and landing on the flats means missing the transition all togeather, so the bigger transition in the superpipe would mean nothing but further to drop to flat ground.

and dez - nah man... the main pipe at Blue is only like 10-12ft. a superpipe is 15-19ft. this one pipe out in Norway or something is 25ft and has two massive hip's going into it...now that's one big ass pipe.

er i ment mike my bad, and it def does not mean you are a puss, just why not hit a 20 foot pipe instad of a 12 foot pipe... you can for sure go bigger in a superpipe, but if all you have is a 10 footer fuckin kill it then!
