Halfpipe
The 'Halfpipe' originates in Skateboarding. The whole idea is now used in Snowboarding in a snow covered structure. The Halfpipe is a U-shaped bowl where Snowboard riders can move back and forth from one wall to the other while moving down the fall line. The opposing walls are of the same height and size. The Snowboarder uses the halfpipe to make jumps and perform Snowboarding Tricks.
You will need to have excellent edge and turning control in your snowboarding before you will experience success in the halfpipe. The beginner snowboarder need not be discouraged by initial failure in the halfpipe. Begin with simple tricks and slowly enhance the degree of difficulty.
The Halfpipe is a competitive Snowboarding event. Judges score according to the precise way that you land the Snowboard, balance, height, spins, flips, speed and the level of attempts at a wide variety of manoeuvres and tricks. The challenge is to jump higher and higher, getting as much air as possible, performing tricky manoeuvres and then trying to land the board as smoothly as possible.
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...
