| Rode the 22ft one in Breck... it was fairly large, the best thing about a well made pipe is that is it easier to ride than a little one. |

| That's because they still insisted on piste bashing the middle of it... which got deeper and deeper and deeper. There's always the half-pipe at Sheffield Ski Village of course. |

oh yeh snowsport gb went bust, I think it would be great to see a permanent pipe in an indoor dome and would play host to many competitions in the UK i don't know why it hasn't been done yet(permanently), The MK one looked a lil dangerous from that pic it's pretty uneven.
I've just been reading some details on the lack of snowsport funding, Maybe now is a good opportunity to express our ideas. Do you reckon governing people take notice if the demand is high? Wonder if we started a petition somebody would take a shine to it? hmm.... |

Definately, Bigger pipes are actually quite forgiving if you don't lose your head and keep it together, So with this new boarding governing body in the UK, What changes do you reckon they will make and what will they introduce? |

it just didn't last because it was high maintennace and freestylers are not the fridges core business.... they come back to us in the summer when the cash cows have gone back to their 9-5's after their week in Val D'isre
oh so do they rebuild it every summer? sweet : ) |

| No they don't re build it every summer, that one was from years ago. What they do all tend to do is be a bit more freestyle friendly between April & September, often keeping a few toys out for use all the time. |

Ive rode the superpipe at cooper a week before it hosted the grand prix (olympic qualifers). Its alot harder and scarier than it looks, 30ft walls
If you can keep your head and grow some balls you can get some unbelievable height. |

Olympic and X-Games size are 22 ft mate so I doubt it was 30ft... may have felt like it at the top looking down though... |
