I think this might be the world's first indoor halfpipe, its being built for the MTV2 snowjam this saturday in Milton Keynes England. Gonna be an awesome session.

That`s not the first indoor half-pipe...Vuokatti ski resort in Finland (of course) has had an indoor half-pipe for years...but it`s kinda small and icy :/

That is sweet. I wonder how long it would last for? Without a shitload of airconditioning, I mean



In tractor pulls, a 'full pull' is the best you can get. Ahh, how sport mirrors life.

Going to be open to the public for 2 months after the MTV event.

I reckon it might get closed down earlier though, as a lot of gapers with no clue who've never ridden a pipe before are likely to nail themselves, and it won't be a good advert to have stretcher after stretcher carrying out broken people.

pipe is pretty safe. The ppl who get hurt are the ppl going big--and if you have the skills to go big in the pipe u'r gonna be just fine most of the time.

Yeah, you're right.

But you haven't seen some of the goons that ride in this place. Plus, as its quite a big thing, the UKs first indoor snow halfpipe, its going to be super busy.

Hopefully no one will be hurt, but i think its pretty likely

^Its not that great here, im sure you'd much prefer to live where it actually snowed. And yes it is on a slope, its just hard to see rom the angle. Don't think it's being aired this saturday, only filmed. Million dead and Jetplane landing are playing...any good?

I think the Glasgow city centre thing is part of the AIM series right? Its an invite only comp though. Will be really sick though. Anyone know Glasgow? Georges square or something like that?

(This is pretty cool, not often you get any UK news getting more that about 3 posts before getting forgotten about!)

Thanks man :) Should hopefully make it to them :D

Yea man, it's supposedly part of the AIM Series, I know Glasgow very well, it's my home town. Is it really george square? SICK! Buchannan Street would be killer because it's got a good slope, I've been talking about trying to setup a slopestyle/street comp there for years and end it just outside TISO.

The guy that said Glasgow City Centre has no slopes... HAVE YOU EVER BEEN?! The City Centre is spread over 9 'drumlins'! Ever been to Strathclyde University? Buchannan street could have an in-ramp built on the steps to the Royal Concert hall, gap the glass underground station! Would be incredible and give some sick shots! Good crowd too, I've had 200+ people watch me drop off that glass underground thing on a bike. Think what a bunch of skiers, boarders and SNOW would get?!

I reckon it will be, yeah. With big fuck off sponsorship from Orange, so i hope a fair amount of money will go into it.

Will be sick, I'll certainly make the journey up there for it.

I just had my mate Ally Watson over there, hopefully some of the guys with some results under their belts from Glasgow will get in, or even just good local kids. We'll see though. Yea, should bring more money into the sport. No1 distributes many of the newschool brands in Scotland, so it's pretty tough. I hear Blues might be dropping LINE to.

We need money and publicity, this will bring both.

Yo Paddy, I think it's a certainty on the series... by the looks of things anyways. A few of us here and writing to the council up here and things. I've been thinking about an event like this for years, literally, just needed the backing. Now AIM step up to the plate. Will be interesting who they invite, I'm sure you guys will be on the list though.
