I dropped in on a halfpipe today, for the first time 😎, it was a fairly small one though so I guess it's probably called a quaterpipe. It was easy on the KH24 but when I tried it on the 20" I couldn't stay on coz I ended up pedalling too fast.
Couldn't get very far up the other side but I might put in a bit more practice and see if I can't make it all the way up.
Have you forgotten 'this thread' (tinyurl.com3248f)Open ↗ I've stayed clear of halfpipes for a while, but once upon a time I dropped in on my old 24". I never made it very far up the other side either, but 'Einradfreak' (tinyurl.com3b5p4Open ↗) seems to do pretty well at it.
it won't let me vote because the school computers are crud but i vote 'Not yet. I wanna have a go.' and i do 🙂

I have a guy here at work who doesn't believe it can be done. I'd love to prove him wrong. Video is the only way that will happen because I sure as hell will not be doing it!

I wanna try. Theres a skatepark here in Philly where i feel i should give it a go. If anyone has played tony hawk 2 you'll know the one. Its fairly similar to the one in the game.

There's also a pic of einradfreak riding in a pipe, in the Euro Uni pics -thread.

I've dropped into a quarterpipre before, and was right on the edge of dropping into a halfpipe (another 2 inches and I would have been very quickly at the bottom), but chickened out at the last second.

Sounds exactly like an orthodic support for shoes, only different. Would this be called a butt-thodic support? or glutethodic? -S_Wallis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paco's Profile: unicyclist.com3715Open ↗ View this thread: unicyclist.com29738Open ↗
Quarterpipes, fine....but if you really want to grok a half- pipe, it needs to be on in-lines or a skateboard. And all those extra wheels don't count as "training wheels"....
