quarter pipe

Raven · Posted: Nov 22, 2009 10:06 am Post subject: quarter pipe

hey do you guys remember that old shot of thomas hitting that quarter pipe on a wakeskate?

that was such a cool shot, and i feel it has been overlooked and needs to be overcrooked Shocked

take a small canal or passage way, like TJ's old canalskating days. yeah son, anyway, it's be cool to build quarter pipes on each side.....100' or so Shocked

so there could be a lil back and forth.....maybe like a rock-n -roll on one side to a disaster on the other, or method air or even a shindy above the coping, boneless?.......all the while holding onto the handle and crossing to the otherside, so it's more or less a wide halfpipe, and come to think of it the 2.0 might be nice going right up the middle like the fridge.

thoughts?

They had a HUGE quater pipe in some Euro Comp.. but the video i saw only wakeboarders were hitting it. It was still pretty sick and very unique... i saw some rock n rolls... and thats about it. But good idea rave

the 2.0 would work perfectly for that. such a sick idea. someone needs to build one whos got a system 2.0 and make things happen. Smash

Does anyone here on the site actually own a system 2.0 for their personal use?

ya system 2.0 and a park designed for wakeskates would be nasty. i think it was henshaw hitting that full C rail and doing some sick stalls and stuff on his wakeboard at the projects. i think 2.0 is the best thing to happen to water board sports in a long time.

There was a 2.0 pulled contest in Europe I believe that had a quarterpipe at the end for the turn around. The footage is on here somewhere:

there were kids using this kicker as a qp the other day at the s2.
he was doing all sorts of stalls / airs etc. it was pretty tight.

not trying to derail the thread, but what's the deal w/ riding at the projects on the 2.0 as far as cash and time

mojo, 20 dollars for 1 hour session maxium 5 people with you, call em to set up an appointment and check availability.

I've heard of a few people charging the McCormicks Big Kicker letting go of the handle with enough speed to go up and rock the fakie etc

that would cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Out at my old pool gap I had a little finisher ramp up to nothing, then later built a flat spot for stalls. It was fun to do after coming out of the pool to the pond..

I love the idea, i wonder how much trany you would need to pop you up. This idea makes me wanna take my mini ramp 1/2 and take to the lake..... Mmmmmm, that would only be 16ft long. I think you would want 30ft? maybe in the 20's....

2.0 would be the best pull for sure Very Happy

I drew up something like this proly 15 years ago thought the boat or the pwc could pas throught the center it would have to be rather long to do anything back and forth.

itch,i never thought about it that way, for some reason i could only picture in my head, what the strapper is doing a few posts up. Id love to see what people could do with that.

itch, that is awesome.
I was thinking along the same lines except on a smaller scale.

I think the key to making this a reality is less height and more distance.

wakeskatedude, that video really was awesome, i think having the qp at the turn of the 2.0 is the ticket......thanks for posting that miller, i agree, it doesn't need to be that tall to get technical, at least for now itch, sick, that is what i'm talkin about. both sides are hittable and offer some options.

it would be awesome if it could be long like a super pipe in snowboarding.
