Let's get real guys... There only a couple who can do unnatural dubs... That was the step after the switch 10, the unnatural spins. It'll be at least a couple seasons before triples go down in the pipe... If it's even possible.
I definitely think someone will put one down in the next calendar year or so but I really don't think anyone will start consistently trying to do one in contest runs. Pipe skiing is crazy right now but I can think of a lot of really technical pipe runs that can and should win contests if stomped that don't need a triple. Unnat dubs in the pipe aren't quite a commonplace yet like they've become in slopestyle and big air contests. I think this coming season's winning contest runs will be characterized by both switch and unnat dubs - definitely atleast 3 dubs in a run, but no triples. The risk of fucking up your run on a triple far outweighs the benefit of actually doing one. Keep in mind, the superhit contest happens only once a year at WSI. All of the other pipe contests require a complete run, not just one banger trick.
triple flair seems possible, but crazy. After seeing 20 different trip 14s in the past week I think I would be more impressed to see a big triple backflip over a huge park jump.
Seriously...can you imagine trying a triple in the pipe. The walls would have to be at least 25+ ft and falling to flat or decking from that high would seriously mess your day/season up.
