we just got a new decent pipe in our resort. (Silvrett-Arena, Austria, Europe). I think its a good pipe, for european relations. The walls are vertical, and its shaped regularly. (Not usual in europe)

So i wanna ride the pipe and do some stuff like flairs and 5s. But always when i am in the pipe, i get this feeling, which you maybe all know when you first rode a pipe. I am not feeling comfortable and i just cant get serious air.

How did u learned it, how much air do i approx. need for a 5?

spend plenty of time just riding the pipe until you can get like 8ft out each hit and feel comfortable. Then you will be in a good position to learn all the tricks.

also is the feeling normally coming after riding it often? Then i am thinking about spend some hours in it.

i used to always land on the deck, so stay small and remember to stay sort of side ways in the air, or else you wil eat it hard. you will gradually build your confidence.

how much do you push off back into the pipe when you get to the top of the wall? Also, do you aim straigh up the piper when you are at the top, or a bit down the pipe?
