Halfpipe

The 'Halfpipe' originates in Skateboarding. Snowboarders use many of the same tricks as skateboarders in a halfpipe made out of snow. You will need to have excellent edge and turning control in your snowboarding before you will experience success in the halfpipe. The beginner should not be discouraged by initial failure in the halfpipe. Begin with simple tricks and slowly enhance the degree of difficulty.

The superpipe is a recent advancement in snowboarding. Still referred to as a "halfpipe," the superpipe took a once standard halfpipe dimension and super-sized it to a new standard. The superpipe standard was used in the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

Gliding in the halfpipe is the most spectacular form of snowboarding. The thrill and the play with gravity are fascinating in this variation. Everyone who is addicted to adrenaline will enjoy the halfpipe immensely...
