shredFAND Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Could anyone give me some good tips on riding halfpipe? I can jump and jib, but put in a transition with some vert and i'm clueless! Need advise on approach, powering through the tranny, and spinning more than 360. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DHarrisburg Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Don't try to get more than 5 to 8 hits in a run. The most common mistake by beginner pipe riders is not traveling down the fall line enough on each hit. If you try to fight the fall line all you're going to get is a bunch of 1 foot airs.

Stevo Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 The only tip i have is to go to mountain creek or north, or west, because all of the pipes in this area suck, pretty much all of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Do any resorts offer pipe lessons? Camelback, it's the only feature in the park they let you hit during lessons (at CB that is). They make you sign an additional waiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skier150 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Ahhh, good point. Just wait till you see all the changes for the pipe and park at Blue this year. Now all they need is a pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowskilz Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Best way to learn how to pump in a pipe is to get a skateboard and go to a local park with a pipe. Its almost the same motion on a sk8board and a snowboard and you will learn super quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 just an FYI, 7springs now is the proud owner of a 17' zauug super pipe dragon. its going to be sick! not only that but they also have purchased a bunch of new rails and made a third slope into a terrain park. there will also be a full time park crew to change it up and keep it in good shape throughout the season. ( ill be part of the park staff this year) they must have awakened to the fact that there really arent too many places with good parks in the mid atlantic and that having the best around could draw in some bigger events/contests that will also bring in big name companies who have money. i know most of you guys dont ride the western side of the state, but its going to be worth the trip out this season if you get the chance.

librider Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Im not a halfpipe person at all. It bores me. Although i can ride i pipe i bet i would like it if i was better at it. I would rather hit a kicker or some rails than ride the pipe. Edit: haha 360 posts get it like a 360 Edited November 19, 2005 by librider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartoODPC Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 as for as learning to ride pipe, camelback has a very good pipe once it is freshly cut. the key to pipe is at most ur entry run. upon entry, u should never b carving into the tranny. no matter heelside wall or toeside wall, u want to initiate ur turn in the flats and just hold an edge into the transition. many people think they need to carve into the wall but u initiate ur turn before moving up the wall, and that is usually where beginners lose all speed.
